MILDRED L. BATCHELDER HONOR WINNER
School Library Journal Best of the YearBCCB Best of the Year (Blue Ribbon Selection) A beautiful slice-of-life story that is This One Summer meets Ursula K. Le Guin's Very Far Away from Anywhere Else, told in flashbacks 16-year-old Raquel lives in a small town in Portugal, the kind of place where everyone knows everyone else's business. Her parents are divorced and she's just been suspended for cursing out a school aide asking about her father's new marriage. She has two best friends, Luísa and Fred, but wants something more. Then, from afar, she sees Pardalita, a senior and a gifted artist who's moving to Lisbon to study in the fall. The two girls get to know each other while working on a play. And Raquel falls in love. Using a gorgeous blend of prose poems, illustrations, and graphic novel format, author and artist Joana Estrela captures the feeling of being a teenager in a way that feels gentle, joyful, and real. P R A I S E ★ "Intimate...Through a fledgling queer romance, the creator presents a story of change, connection, and transformation."
--Publishers Weekly (starred) ★ "The elegant simplicity of this book belies the artistic depth and emotional resonance contained within. Will leave readers in quiet, piercing satisfaction."
--Booklist (starred) ★ "A leisurely, emotional stroll through a slice-of-life story that explores identity and sexuality in an authentically sweet and subtle way."
--School Library Journal (starred) ★ "The writing style is intriguing and deliberate...the slice-of-life approach working perfectly with Estrela's creative vision in switching up formats to best convey Raquel's intense and powerful self-discovery...this tender, warm book will likely enchant all romantic fans."
--BCCB (starred) "Effectively conveys adolescent turmoil, the heady intoxication of first love, and sweet moments of connection as young queer love blossoms. The book's strength lies in its careful presentation of telling details. Quietly resonant and sincerely told."
--Kirkus Reviews

Invisible, Reliable, and Weirdly Satisfying
Model: Hydrocolloid, Size: 102 Count (Pack of 3)
I’ve tried a ton of different pimple patches and some fall off in the middle of the night, some look like you’ve taped a sticker to your face, and some just straight-up don’t work. These? These are my go-to.
I wear them day and night, and I’ve literally forgotten I have one on because they’re that invisible. Even under makeup or in bright lighting, it’s hard to tell it’s there unless you’re seriously up close. They adhere well with no random peeling or slipping off and they stay put even through sleep or light face washing. That alone makes them worth it.
But beyond just staying on, they do the job. After a few hours (or overnight), you can actually see the patch pulling oil and gunk out of the spot. It’s gross in the best way. I’ve had whiteheads flatten out and redness reduce without me ever touching the pimple. No popping, no scarring.
If you’re the type who picks at your face out of habit that this helps break that cycle. Just slap one on and forget it. I’ve genuinely missed them before because they blend into my skin so well, even in the mirror.

Affordable
Model: Hydrocolloid, Size: 102 Count (Pack of 1)
These patches are a good value for the price and work as expected. They stick pretty well and are relatively discreet on the skin. They don’t perform miracles overnight, but they do help keep the area clean and protected. I usually notice improvement after a couple of days. My only real complaint is that I wish the small size was just a bit larger. Overall, solid and affordable option.

INVISIBLE
Model: Hydrocolloid, Size: 102 Count (Pack of 1), Model: Hydrocolloid, Size: 102 Count (Pack of 1)
These are basically invisible so you can wear them during the day! And they actually work! Incredibly thin so I use tweezers to apply them. Have been so great for my hormonal acne during pregnancy. Highly recommend!!
