A First Time for Everything by Dan Santat is an adorable graphic novel memoir about the author's middle school trip to Europe. Santat, a Caldecott medalist for The Adventures of Beekle: An Unimaginary Friend, went on this trip sometime in the 1980's. This gives the memoir not only a fun, ethnic feel from the Paris setting, but also one of nostalgia for 80's Europe. Countries his group visits include France, Germany, Switzerland, and England.
I recommend this to both children and adults. It's a great book for all ages, and I think each age group gets something different out of it.
