Discover the quirky tale of single parenting and heavy metal behind the new film from director Simon Bird (The Inbetweeners) 'When someone looks back and writes a history of this summer, two people they will almost certainly leave out are Sue and Daniel Bagnold...' So begins Joff Winterhart's sublimely funny and perceptive graphic novel, Days of the Bagnold Summer. Sue, 52, works in a library. Daniel, 15, is still at school. This was the summer holidays Daniel was due to spend with his father and his father's pregnant new wife in Florida. When they cancel his trip, Sue and Daniel face six long weeks together... Joff Winterhart perfectly captures the ennui, the tension, the pathos and yes, the affection of this mother-son relationship. Already well-known for his animated films like Violet and Turquoise, he here shows himself to be a comics author of extraordinary talent. Shortlisted for the 2012 Costa Award for Best Novel

My 14 year old granddaughter asked me for the "comic form" Maximum Ride books. She had read the regular books, loved them, and wanted more. I read a review of DoBS and thought she might enjoy it. After reading it myself, felt she would find it disturbing. The girl doesn't find Harry Potter books nightmare making, but sad family issues are too real. Hated the movie Elsa because "it was real."
I am not a comic book fan, haven't read one since Watterston stopped drawing Calvin & Hobbes, but loved this book. DoBS was deeply moving. If I had a teen-ager whose parents were divorced, or who had a divorce in the family, I would strongly recommend DoBS. Loved the characters, the slightly alienated boy, his ordinary mom, both trying and successfully coping with life. Buy it, you won't regret it. I'll be looking for more Joff Winterhart.
