At sixteen, Nicole Georges adopted a shar pei/dachshund mix puppy as a surprise for her boyfriend, but the real bond formed between Nicole and her dog. A move to Oregon and a breakup later, Nicole knows full well that Beija is not an ordinary, well-behaved pet. She’s almost comically determined to misbehave: baying, marking, and growling at all the wrong times and with all the wrong people. All the same, she is Nicole’s beloved co-pilot through the painful process of growing up (and coming out). Nicole’s journey through her teens and twenties is depicted in the author’s sharp, wonderfully expressive black-and-white illustrations. As the star of the show, Beija is especially charismatic. Equal parts soul searching and soul baring, Fetch is a memorable graphic memoir with the bonus presence of a one-of-a-kind canine companion. Pennsylvania Young Reader’s Choice Award 2018-2019
