Summary:

Holly is a graphic novel about Holly Black, a 16 year old girl who lives on a remote Scottish island. She feels stuck and is desperate to leave and start a new life on the mainland. We follow Holly through her last few weeks before school ends when she can enact her plan and leave without anyone stopping her. Over the course of the story she interacts with friends, enemies, teachers and family, exploring reasons to leave and reasons to stay.

The story deals with themes of finding yourself and trying to change your circumstances for the better.
