Rules of Summer

Two boys explain the mysterious rules they learned over the summer, like never eat the last olive at a party and never ruin a perfect plan in this title by the New York Times-bestselling creator of the graphic novel The Arrival. Full color. Never be late for a parade. Never forget the password. Never ruin a perfect plan. It's all about the rules. But what if the rules feel completely arbitrary? What if your older brother is the only one who gets to make them up all summer long? And what if he's the only one who can save you when the darkness of winter comes rushing in?

As usual, master artist and storyteller Shaun Tan shows us the strange truth of ordinary things -- rules, relationships, despair, and hope -- as only he can.
