Reel Life: A Graphic Novel

When Galen''s parents reveal that they''re splitting up, his life is thrown into chaos. He knows he shouldn''t like his dad''s home-wrecker girlfriend, Jasmine, but she isn''t a jerk like he expected. Then his mom brings home a new boyfriend -- and his teenage daughter! To top it off, Galen''s friend Kyle has inexplicably become really mean. To process these confusing emotions, Galen and his best friend, Luna, decide to make a documentary movie all about his parents'' divorce. But will the reel life of filmmaking help Galen face his real life?

Author-illustrator Kane Lynch draws on childhood experiences to tell a nuanced and deeply empathetic story about the messy, awkward, and sometimes funny dilemmas that result from evolving families and friendships.
