This was my first graphic novel. It was fairly good, but most definitely targets teens. It contains some pretty good, empowering messages, such as, Nothing can hurt you if you don't let it. Just speak up. Speak your truth. You'll get the held you need.

The End.

Judy I have had this on my TBR forever, it seems. The original I mean. Must get to it. I once wrote a song for my son with the line, "Find your truth and speak it."


Jodi How wonderful, Judy, that you wrote a song for your son!! That's so sweet! I hope he liked and appreciated it.👩‍👦💗 What a great Mom you are!🥇

Debbie W. Good for you, Jodi, trying graphic novels! I've always gifted my grandchildren with books for their birthdays and Christmas, and lately, have come to realize they enjoy graphic novels.

Yes, I'm glad I tried them, too, but I doubt I'll find another I'll want to read. As you can imagine, they're written for young people, so it's unlikely I'll find one interesting enough to buy it. But if graphic novels get young people reading, then fantastic!! More power to them!!👦👧💚📚


Fran (Not Receiving Notifications) Great review, Jodi! Graphic novels can be deep and thought provoking. I'm glad you gave one a whirl! 💖

Thanks Fran! It was kinda fun - like reading a comic book!
