Junior High Drama
This felt like a missed opportunity. I liked the different body types shown and the many races/ethnicities depicted, but one of the constant themes through each story were heteronormative love interests. Seriously? Not one LGBTQ character??
Cute graphic novel for any preteen! Covers a wide range of topics that are relevant to middle school dramas...literally. It covers most important topics like bullying, crushes, sexuality, health, friends, all that jazz.

The graphic novel is separated into 4 different stories. While

Netgalley provided me a DRC of this book in exchange for an honest review.This is a graphic novel composed of four short stories about middle school girls dealing with the issues surrounding their lives. All of the stories are incredibly diverse, body positive and educate in a way that unfold organically.The School Musical Meltdown:Kamilla is insecure about her weight and allows it to hold her back and not take chances/opportunities. There is a boy on the football team that she cant believeThis felt like a missed opportunity. I liked the different body types shown and the many races/ethnicities depicted, but one of the constant themes through each story were heteronormative love interests. Seriously?
