Middle Grade Review: Winging It

Luna's dad got a new job and their moving across the country to live with a grandmother she barely knows. She's not at all excited. She's not a nature girl - even though her mom was. But at a museum with her father, she spies the moth her mom named her after. Luna's never seen a luna moth. They only fly at night and they have a short life span. 

Her grandmother has a lot of rules. It's hard keeping up with them all. Their relationship is strained, but it's starting to improve.

Luna meets the neighbors. One of them helps her start a nature journal - just like her mother's. 

Will Luna start to fit in - with her grandmother? with nature? with new friends?

My Thoughts: I really enjoyed this graphic novel. I love how it felt like a diary with the calendar dates. I loved the nature part of this journal; it made me want to create my own. At the end of the book, it does tell you how to create your own. I felt badly for Luna as things were hard in the beginning but I love how she found herself. I love how she created relationships - especially the Nature Detectives. The camping trip was highly entertaining. 

Cover Thoughts: Cute
