Abby is back at the same old camp she goes to every summer except for the fact that this summer, nothing is the same. Her friend Rose is a cabin assistant, her friend Beth is pierced, and now the only person who doesn't seem too cool for Abby is Shasta, the new girl. Shasta, who was struck by lightning, whose Internet boyfriend is a senior in high school, and who is totally annoying to everyone but Abby....
Abby is off to summer camp, and this year change is in the air. Her best friend doesn't have time for her, and she catches her new friends talking about her in the bathroom. Tiel, the dungeon master, tells Abby that she looks like a half-elf. Does that mean he likes her? And then there's Abby's new bunkmate: Shasta has been hit by lightning; she has a boyfriend she's never met, in New Jersey; and she tells everyone she's 1/8th Cherokee. Strange lights follow Shasta around and sometimes her hair stands straight up. Tiel, the expert on such matters, suspects will-o'-the-wisps; Abby thinks that a splinter of lightning lives inside Shasta, trying to get back to the sky. Chiggers is an entertaining graphic novel whose intended audience is younger teenage girls; they will relate to Abby's friendship travails and her romance with Tiel, which consists of kissing and hand-holding. The b/w art reminds me of the work of Jeff Smith, the creator of the Bone series. Shasta isn't a happy person; she latches onto Abbywho has mixed feelings about herbecause she needs friends. The characters in Chiggers aren't always nice to each other, but everything works out without the world ending. Chiggers contains mild vulgarities (bitch) and is recommended for junior high and high school graphic novel collections catering to girls; interest in this graphic novel will wane above the 9th grade.
