About This Book
The Eisner Award for "Best U.S. Edition of International Material" has been won by Tilly Walden, a rising star in the American graphic novel scene, for her autobiographical graphic novel that has also garnered two Ignatz Awards for her works, *The End of Summer* and *I Love This Part*.
Written and illustrated when she was just twenty-one, this remarkable work tells the story of Walden's life as a figure skater for twelve years. It candidly explores themes such as bullying and exclusion at school, first love, and coming out, resonating deeply with those who have navigated the tumultuous path of adolescence. It offers gentle comfort to anyone who has experienced the instability of life, metaphorically captured in the notion of a "spin."
At eleven, Tilly’s life begins to spiral like a speeding spin move. Moving to Texas completely alters her surroundings. The shy Tilly struggles to adapt to a new school and skating team. She faces torment from classmates for no apparent reason and feels out of place among unfamiliar terms and a distant group of peers in her new team.
In this challenging environment, Lindsay, whom she meets in a synchronized skating team, becomes a source of support. Meanwhile, Ray, a girl she meets at school, sparks Tilly's first love—both exciting and terrifying. This initial experience of love, filled with hope that it might be reciprocated, becomes especially poignant for a thirteen-year-old queer girl, as love often intertwines with fear.
