Original graphic novel with annotations

For as long as Robin can remember, it's just been her and her mom. So when her mother suddenly announces she's getting married-and that their summer trip to the United States will become a permanent move-Robin's world is turned upside down overnight.

In Alabama, everything feels foreign: a language she can't yet speak, a school where she doesn't belong, and a life far removed from the friends she left behind in Seoul. Isolated and overwhelmed, Robin struggles to navigate culture shock, loneliness, and the complicated bond she shares with her strong-willed mother.

Slowly, through art, courage, and determination, Robin begins to find her voice-learning that belonging isn't about where you come from, but about discovering who you are.

Told with honesty and warmth, Almost American Girl is a powerful coming-of-age story about identity, resilience, and starting over.
