Middle Grade Graphic Novel: Wires Crossed

 



Mia's happy when her camp friend moves to town. She can't wait to hang out with him. But Tariq becomes super popular and Mia is not. Her best friend is friends with the popular crowd and is trying to mold Mia into a clone. Mia doesn't care about boys. 

Mia is more interested in the science Olympics. She's gathered a team and they've decided to build a snake robot. Mia starts hanging out with the other girl on her team. The popular kids think she's weird, but she and Mia hit it off.  Why is middle school so hard?
My Thoughts: This was a cute graphic novel filled with all the friendship drama. There's so much going on in middle school: popularity, crushes, and figuring out who you want to be. I loved watching Mia navigate through this all. I loved the robot building moments. I loved her family - even though they were weird. They embraced it. I love how everything turned out. 

Cover Thoughts: Cute
