Skim

A single, self-contained graphic novel published by Casterman in 2008, Skim is a quietly powerful coming-of-age story set in 1990s Toronto. Written by Mariko Tamaki and illustrated by Jillian Tamaki, the book follows a depressed, Wiccan-obsessed teenage girl navigating friendship, heartbreak, and a school tragedy. Its sensitive, nuanced portrayal of adolescent identity and emotional depth helped establish the cousins as leading voices in independent comics.
