Graphic Novel Review: Fresh Start





Ollie's used to moving (her dad is a diplomat) and creating a fresh start - which is great when you make a fool out of yourself. But it's also hard to keep friends when you're always moving. 

Ollie loves anime - particularly Quill. As she gets to know her classmates, she realizes that she might have judged them too soon. There are several who love anime - just like her. 

As she starts putting down roots, could everything be ripped away from her?
My Thoughts: This book was super cute. There was a lot of drama: friendship and family. Ollie's parents and her younger sister don't get along. Trouble bubbles up in the family. I love the addition of the hedgie. I really loved how the friendships developed - past and present. The illustrations are adorable.

Graphic Review: Kristy's Big Day

Kristy's Big Day (The Baby-Sitters Club Graphix #6)








* Book 6 in the Graphic BSC series 


Kristy's mom is getting married and Kristy gets to be in the wedding. The only problem - the wedding is in two weeks and they're moving before the summer ends. Plus with the wedding moved up so far in advance, families are coming in early to help - with their kids. There will be fourteen kids in all!

It's the perfect job for the Baby Sitters Club. But can they handle all the kids and find time to help get ready for the wedding?
My Thoughts: Another fun addition to this series. I loved seeing all the kids together and the way the club handled different crisis. I can't wait for Boy Crazy Stacey!
