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.
Cover Thoughts: Cute

Library Recommendation: A must have book for your school and graphic novel
The cover for this book is cute. I'm glad you enjoyed this graphic novel so much. I wish I could get into reading them because they're becoming more popular. Happy MMGM!
ReplyDeleteI'm reading more graphic novels than ever before. They are also a big draw for young readers who shy away from longer text only books. Fresh Start has all the elements of a good one with a great plot and characters. Thanks for featuring it on MMGM this week.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a fun read! The diplomat father is new and intriguing! It also sounds like it has an important theme.
ReplyDeleteI am buying this one for my library. Graphic novels are so expensive, and oftern meet bad ends, so I don't buy them all.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a lot of fun. I'm sure the kids will love it. Thanks for the review.
