Cover of book featuring a cartoon drawing, girl at a school desk, dreaming.

Congratulations to Emma Hunsinger ‘20 on her debut graphic novel, HOW IT ALL ENDS by HarperCollins/Greenwillow Books. After working on it for three years, it releases 8/6 wherever books are sold! You can pre-order it now!

HOW IT ALL ENDS has received many starred reviews. Including: 

“Hunsinger’s distinctive style. . . is reminiscent of doodles in the margins of student notebooks and perfectly suits the subject matter. . . . Tara’s voice rings true, and readers will find much to relate to in her various social and emotional struggles. Frequent moments of humor create a lighthearted tone despite Tara’s overall angst. . . . A slice of life that’s as imaginative as its protagonist.” —Kirkus Reviews
