by Mariko Tamaki & Jillian Tamaki Meet 'Skim,' aka Kimberly Keiko Cameron, a not-slim, would-be Wiccan goth. When her classmate Katie Matthews is dumped by her boyfriend, who then kills himself, her entire all-girls' academy in Toronto goes into mourning overdrive. It's a weird time to fall in love, but Skim does just that after secret meetings with her neo-hippie English teacher, Ms. Archer. When Ms. Archer abruptly leaves the school, Skim has to cope with her confusion and isolation, as her best friend, Lisa, tries to pull her into 'real' life by setting up a hilarious double date for the school's semi-formal. Skim finds an unexpected ally in Katie. Suicide, depression, growing up in the 90's, love, being gay or not, crushes, cliques of popular, manipulative peers - the whole gamut of tortured teen life is explored in this masterful graphic novel by cousins Mariko and Jillian Tamaki.

An allegorical story with important Hindu teachings, it has had great influence on Indian life and culture over the centuries.

After she and her husband Rama are exiled from their kingdom, Sita is captured by the proud and arrogant king Ravana and subjected to his advances.
