About the book

Summer camp is supposed to be a place to find yourself, but when you’re sent to a Christian sleepaway camp, that can be hard to do. Hemmed in by how she presents herself at school, and the expectations of her pastor father, Meg finds it hard to know just how she feels about herself… let alone how others feel about her.
When Meg runs into Danny, a soft and charming boy who also comes to the camp every summer, her feelings start to flourish. Unfortunately, with these feelings come questions. How is she supposed to fulfill the role she is supposed to play when her heart and her faith are both questioning?
This gorgeously illustrated graphic novel speaks to complexity of faith, while also exploring the power of first loves and the complicated feelings they can bring.

Advanced Praise for Someday Perfect

“Gorgeously painted….A considered look at the beginnings of a crisis of faith.” —Booklist

“Subtle and sensitive, a meaningful read for teens struggling to reconcile feelings of faith and self-­conception.” —School Library Journal

“This leisurely story creates plenty of space for readers who may be on journeys like Meg’s to ponder and reflect….Thoughtful and thought-provoking.” —Kirkus Reviews



About the author

Kat Schneider is a comics artist and printmaker working in New Jersey. While a lot of her work focuses on the little joys and annoyances of daily life, she also gravitates towards stories with themes of magic, heart-ache and romance. When she's not drawing, you can find her hopelessly trying to beat a new level in a video game or hanging out with her husband and cats. Someday Perfect is her debut graphic novel.
