Surprisingly, this graphic novel brought a lot of punch and reality to the eternal problem of making friends and treating people with kindness and respect. It speaks to the middle grade problem of having a "best" friend, forming cliques, and treating some people as outcasts.
 | From the publisher: I feel like there are a lot of students who can relate to the story in these pages. The simple illustrations help tell the tale as main character Shannon sometimes turns her thoughts into imaginative fantasies as she deals with real life preteen (and teen) problems. I didn't expect it, but I enjoyed the book for the short time it took to read it. It may not be the next great American novel, but it's worth the read. |
