![]() She was telling me about her background in playwriting and I can clearly see that ability to lift up characters and events and have them dance upon the page. Venable has a wonderful way with evoking the trials and tribulations of young souls. Our story is set in 2004 which provides a whole set of pop culture references while also giving everything a timeless quality. But her heart is telling her that she wants to be kissed by girl-next-door Cat. Conventional wisdom is telling her that she should be pining over boy-next-door Adam. And growing up in a conservative religious family adds to the complications. Mads is mad about life but struggling to find her way. Her friends call her, Mads, which is a fitting nickname for an exuberant personality. Our main character is 16-year-old Amanda. This is a book that is about family, self-discovery and gender identity that requires that you find a nice spot to read because you won’t want to put it down. My new favorite graphic novel is Kiss Number 8, written by Colleen AF Venable and illustrated by Ellen T. KISS NUMBER 8 by Colleen AF Venable and Ellen T Crenshaw ![]()
