In the early 2000s, high school Oli struggles with frustration over the state of the world. The adults around her are preoccupied by jobs, dishes, credit card debts, and keep pressuring her to make choices about college or her future. The news is full of disasters, wars, inequality; she just wants to go somewhere were she can live meaningfully, unplugged from the system and doing no harm. She comes up with the scheme: run away after high school with her two best friends to a commune she's learned about on an island off the coast of Vancouver. But Oli isn't very good at planning. She's hotheaded and reckless, and the runaway trip gets off to a rocky start after a fight a school and loosing the backpack of camping supplies she carefully packed. Can she even find the commune, and if she can, what will it look like when she arrives? What about the other teens she's dragged into her haphazard search for an ethical life? This is a wonderful comic, well paced, funny, adventurous, and wise. The characters feel authentically human, full of yearning and good intentions, but often making bad choices or painful mistakes. Highly recommend!
