All Vera wants to do is fit in – but that’s not easy for a Russian girl in the suburbs. Her friends live in fancy houses and their parents can afford to send them to the best summer camps. Vera’s single mother can’t afford that sort of luxury, but there’s one summer camp in her price range – Russian summer camp.
Vera is sure she’s found the one place she can fit in, but camp is far from what she imagined. And nothing could prepare her for all the ‘cool girl’ drama, endless Russian history lessons, and outhouses straight out of nightmares!
Perfect for fans of Raina Telgemeier, Cece Bell, and Victoria Jamieson, Vera Brosgol’s Be Prepared is a funny and relatable middle-grade graphic novel about navigating your own culture, struggling to belong, and the value of true friendship.

Be Prepared
by Vera Brosgol
Review by Genna
This is a beautiful and uniquely styled graphic novel about trying to fit in. The story follows Vera as she’s sent off to summer camp in an attempt to befriend other orthodox Russians after struggling to adapt to life in America. Loosely based on the authors real experience, this is a tale of acceptance and trying to find your place in the world.
