YA Fanatic

Squeals, how adorable is this graphic novel?! So far, I'm off to a fantastic start on my graphic novel reading goal for this year. I adored this. From Gabby being weird and trying to find a friend to relate to, to the beautiful and wonderfully colored pictures. A loving, laugh out loud tale about friendship and trying to fit it in. 

Gabby has always felt left out. She has her daily routine, getting out of bed, watching TV, practicing Tuba. There's just one she can never cross off, finding someone who will accept me for who I am. Then one day she meets the local Alligator who has spent his life in the sewers. The two find an unlikely friendship and fight against the bullies. 

Absolutely will be recommending this one to my younger kids in the library. Probably a favorite read for this year as well. I think I'm really going to love reading juvenile graphic novels - they're fast, cute, laugh out loud and meaningful. It took me about thirty minutes to breeze through this one.
