Did not realize this was a preview. I’m curious as to whether since Shannon is now in 8th grade if it will be appropriate for my K-5 library.

It's hard to review something you only get to see the first few pages of but I know this book will be popular. The first two books in this semi-autobiographical graphic novel series are fun and engaging. The art is great, with vibrant colors. The trials and tribulations of middle grade are, unfortunately, very accurate. I look forward to reading this whole book and sharing it with patrons.

Amazing chapter preview! Immediately speaks to the messages girls receive constantly about how they should look, behave, move and act in order to gain the attention of others instead of doing things for yourself. Can't wait to see the rest of the book.

I was only able to download 16 pages from NetGalley, but this looks like it will be just as good as all of Shannon Hale's other books. Shannon is becoming increasingly obsessed with how she looks. She wants to be as beautiful as her friend. They discuss school pictures, and Shannon gets contacts.
