These characters are set on making their summers the best that they can be, but will they succeed?
Tune in to find out about:
Brownstone illustrated by MAR JULIA. Almudena always wondered about the father she never met, and suddenly gets the chance to get to know him when her mom jets off on a once-in-a-lifetime trip, leaving Almudena with her dad. She has the summer to bond with him, and help fix up his broken-down brownstone, but will that be enough time?
Ready or Not by ANDI PORRETTA. Cassie and her friends are graduating high school, but everyone seems to have their futures figured out, except her. She's determined to make their final August in NYC together the best one yet, because she's not ready to face a future without them.

Exciting news everyone! My debut graphic novel "Roofhoppers" was acquired by S&S for publication in 2024. Here is the announcement from Publisher’s Weekly to prove it. I’m so thrilled to get to share this story with you all.
“Roofhoppers is a new graphic novel by Andi Porretta that has been bought by Alex Borbolla at book publisher Atheneum. Compared to Booksmart and set against New York City's backdrop, the graphic novel will follow four friends the summer after high school graduation. When the group agrees to play a game of dares from their childhood one last time, what was meant to bring them all together could be the thing that tears them apart. Roofhoppers is to be published in the summer or 2024.”
