Why I read this book: The tagline hooked me (Harriet the Spy meets Front Desk)
Library Recommendation: Highly Recommended for your graphic novel collection.
You hooked me when you mentioned the tagline. I hope my library has it. Happy MMGM!
ReplyDeleteThat tagline would've snared me too. Happy MMGM
ReplyDeleteThe story line sure sounds good. I haven't read many books with a half novel, half graphic novel format so that also has me putting this one on my future read list. Thanks for featuring the book on this week's MMGM.
ReplyDeleteWell, I loved Harriet the Spy, so this sounds intriguing.
ReplyDeleteI'm gaining a soft spot for books about community, and the idea of losing a friend without a heads-up sounds hard. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHow sad to come home to find out your best friend moved!
ReplyDeleteBooks about community are really important. I think kids will like this one Thanks for the review.
ReplyDeletePoor Kacie! How horrible to return from holidays to find so much has changed! I like that she draws. This sounds a nice story and I am intrigued by the format! I agree, it's a great tag line! Thanks for sharing!
