My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Finally! A graphic novel that I was able to get into right away. I actually want to read the next one, even. As a Junior Library Guild selection, I was glad that I picked it up to read. Not only did this book make sense to this very slow-understanding reader, but it also had such a good message about friendship and a real desire of high schoolers (ah, who am I kidding- even those of us in our 50's) to be approved by all our peers. With a bit of sci-fi, contemporary issues, and amazing illustrations, this is definitely a great graphic novel for beginners of this medium.
