Carole Maurel & Mariko Tamaki

At 32, Luisa encounters her 15-year-old self in this sentimental and bold story about self-acceptance and sexuality.

A disillusioned photographer has a chance encounter with her lost teenage self who has miraculously traveled into the future. Together, both women ultimately discover who they really are, finding the courage to live life by being true to themselves. A time-traveling love story that turns coming-of-age conventions upside down, LUISA is a universal queer romance for the modern age.

***STONEWALL HONOR BOOK***

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (Starred Review)

In Maurel’s sumptuously drawn time-travel fantasy, teenage Luisa is transported from the 1990s to the present to meet her 30-something self. Tamaki (This One Summer) adapts the translated French with freshly worded dialogue . . . In stand-out art, Maurel renders attractive characters with open, emotive faces and detailed Paris streets drenched in sunset-toned watercolors. There couldn’t be a lovelier setting for this winning story of romantic self-discovery.

Library Journal

A funny, touching, and beautifully illustrated and colored story about self-acceptance with equal appeal to adult and YA audiences.
