Graphic Novel Review: Fox Point's Own Gemma Hopper



Gemma's dealing with a lot right now - she's picking up the slack from her mother, looking after her brothers, and helping her older brother with his baseball dreams. But could she have dreams of her own? Gemma's just trying to keep everything together, but can she also figure out what she wants?
My Thoughts: A great graphic novel with sports and drama. All the drama! (Friendship, school, and family drama) I love it when the siblings play baseball together. I love it when Teddy realizes the truth about Gemma and forces her to realize it too. While the parents aren't great in this one, the father realizes it in the end. I like how the illustrations are mostly green, black, and white. 

Cover Thoughts: Great

Library Recommendations: A great sports graphic novel - highly recommended for your school and public library collections!
