It's the year 2000 in New York City. For 12- year old Alyssa, this means splitting time between her Puerto Rican dad's apartment in Manhattan and her white mom's new place in Queens, navigating the trials and tribulations of middle school, and an epic crush on a new classmate. The only way to make sense of it all is to capture the highs and lows in doodles and hilarious comics in a diary. Then life abruptly changes on September 11, 2001. After the Twin Towers fall and so many lives are lost, worries about gossip and boys feel distant and insignificant. Alyssa must find a new sense of self and purpose amidst all of the chaos, and find the strength to move forward with hope"--|cProvided by publisher. 600 10 Bermudez, Alyssa|vJuvenile literature. 600 10 Bermudez, Alyssa|vComic books, strips, etc.|vJuvenile literature. 600 10 Bermudez, Alyssa|vCartoons and comics|vJuvenile literature. 650 0 Illustrators|zUnited States|vBiography|vJuvenile literature. 650 0 Illustrators|zUnited States|vBiography|vComic books, strips, etc.|vJuvenile literature. 650 0 Racially mixed families|zNew York (State)|zNew York |vJuvenile literature. 650 0 Racially mixed families|zNew York (State)|zNew York|vComic books, strips, etc.|vJuvenile literature. 650 0 Middle schools|zNew York (State)|zNew York|vJuvenile literature. 650 0 Middle schools|zNew York (State)|zNew York|vComic books, strips, etc.|vJuvenile literature. 650 0 September 11 Terrorist Attacks, 2001|vJuvenile literature. 650 0 September 11 Terrorist Attacks, 2001|vComic books, strips, etc.|vJuvenile literature. 650 0 Illustrators|vCartoons and comics|vJuvenile literature. 650 0 Racially mixed families|zNew York (State)|zNew York |vCartoons and comics|vJuvenile literature. 650 0 Middle schools|zNew York (State)|zNew York|vCartoons and comics|vJuvenile literature. 650 0 Schools|zNew York (State)|zNew York|vCartoons and comics |vJuvenile literature. 650 0 September 11 Terrorist Attacks, 2001|vCartoons and comics |vJuvenile literature. 655 7 Diaries.|2lcgft 655 7 Autobiographies.|2lcgft 655 7 Graphic novels.|2lcgft
