Olive is back at summer camp, with the regular cast of characters and some new fresh faces, too. The book is a great combination of nostalgic camp fun and real issues kids with which kids are dealing. Olive shines as always, and Miller continues to knock it out of the park with this series.

I'm in elementary school librarian and a mother to middle schoolers, I'm always looking for books to reach middle Readers and young adults.
This is another wonderful story from The talented Kayla Miller. I have recommended these books so many times to kids in the library, I'm so glad to see a new one coming out and can't wait to add it to our collection
Thank you netgalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review

Another fantastic book by Kayla Miller in their middle grade graphic novel Click series. I can’t decide what I liked most about Stuck - the vibrant illustrations or the storyline. They’re both terrific. This is an entertaining story that shows different friendship dynamics and how to navigate when your friends are arguing. It contained some really great lessons and plenty of camp fun. Perfect for kids 8-13!

Kayla Miller is a great author. I really have liked the "Click" series and this book is another good one. It is a middle grade book, that involves a group of friends and the events that they go through in life of a middle grader. This book they are at camp. One of the girls didn't want to go to camp, so she was grumpy. Two others were fighting over something that wasn't important. There was a climax where something went wrong and brought all the friends together and the book ending happily.
This "Click" graphic novel series is one I will and have recommended to others.

Kayla Miller does it again with another fabulous book in the Click series. One great thing about these books is you can read them in order (and you'll appreciate the nods to other books in the series), but you can also read them as stand-alones and you won't feel lost. Readers will love seeing Olive and Willow as they had back to camp, which they visited for the first time a few books back. This time around things are very different. In Camp, Olive is excited, makes friends easily and loves every minute, while Willow was apprehensive and struggled her way through summer camp. This time Willow is feeling more confident and Olive is struggling to manage friendships while two of her buddies are arguing with one another. A great book for kids who go to summer camp, but also for any kid. They'll learn about friendships, trying new things, caring about the environment, and truly appreciating what you have. A fantastic book for MG readers and beyond!

Stuck, just like the other books in this series, did not disappoint. I flew through the story because I love love love this series and so do my students! I can't wait to share this with them!

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via Netgalley and the publishers.
Another great installation to this series.

Stuck by Kayla Miller is a great addition to her ongoing series featuring Olive and all her friends. Students will identify with the struggles Olive has with her friends fighting and learning how to navigate that situation without taking over and getting in a fight herself. I enjoyed the story line of various campers and how they stories ultimately came together to pitch a new idea for Camp! A fast, enjoyable read!

Another good book by Kayla Miller. I love picking up these graphic novels because I know I will enjoy them. I did feel at one part. It got a little preachy when the cook is explaining how they recycle and minimize waste. He talks about all the ways that people can help. I felt it was a little preachy and long winded. I also feel that it’s judging people who don’t recycle or do everything they can to minimize waste. That was the part I felt was preachy.

I love the Click universe by Kayla Miller! Super cute illustrations and relatable plots make for fun and engaging reads. For me this one fell a little bit flat from the others in the universe, because the friend drama plot was one we have seen before and didn't seem to be adding anything new. That being said, I loved the environmental aspect and always enjoy the illustrations.
Thanks to NetGalley, Kayla Miller, and HarperCollins for the chance to read and review! My opinions are my own!

It’s always a treat to return to the Click universe, and I really enjoy when Olive takes center stage. It’s hard to believe this is book 7(!) and Kayla Miller takes us back to camp. The art and coloring is the highlight of this vibrant feast for the eyes. Kayla plays peacemaker as her friends fight, weather dampens and grumpiness abounds. Still, Olive’s optimism shines through like sunlight through a break in the clouds. I’m grateful to have received an ARC digital copy from NetGalley for review.

Per usual, Kayla Miller’s style of artwork is adorable and fun. Seeing Nat experience Camp Acorn was something that was enjoyable to read. Super awesome message about taking care of nature.

While the friend group itself is full of interesting dynamics, this missed the mark for me a bit. The focus on nature and sustainability was great, but the rest of the story is quite cyclical. In this age range, it makes sense to fixate on your friend drama because it feels so world ending. At the same time, the plot is sluggish due to how much this fight drags the rest of the characters down too. The reveal of what started the fight proved to me that the dialogue and behaviors are aged down younger than middle grade. This age range has a bit more maturity than this story provided, generally speaking.

We have loved this series and books by Kayla Miller. My daughter and I separately read this and enjoyed it like the others!

Olive is back at Camp Acorn for what she hopes is the best summer ever! Max and Bree, Olive’s camp besties, start fighting almost immediately, sticking Olive squarely in the middle. Willow is busy with her active schedule so Olive is left behind with unhappy first-time camper, Nat. As Olive works to improve the camp, she tries to avoid being pulled into the drama surrounding her, but finds herself stuck.

I will never not read graphic novels in this series when they’re out. I can’t keep them on the shelves so I always have to read the ARC so I can enjoy them before they fly out of the library! That’s what’s going to happen with this book that releases May 6!

They portray kids in middle school, but write them as 3rd graders. I wish some of it would be written for the age they’re supposed to be.

Olive is excited to go back to Camp Acorn Lake again this summer. However, Max and Bree are fighting, and Nat can't stop complaining. and Olive feels like she has to fix it all. Olive finds distraction in a new challenge, creating ways to improve the camp.
Readers will enjoy visiting these familiar characters.

My daughter loves all of Kayla Miller's graphic novels, and this was no exception! The characters are so well-developed that it is easy to pick back up with them in a new novel. This ended up being her favorite. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the chance to read this book!

I received an electronic ARC from HarperCollins Children's Books through NetGalley.
Olive and her friends are back and ready to spend two weeks at summer camp. Unfortunately something happens between Max and Bree and they spend the first week fighting and trying to get Olive to take sides. This ruins camp for Olive as she focuses so much on something someone else has to resolve. Miller uses other members of this friend group to point out that Olive is ruining her own experience by focusing so much on her friends' fight. I appreciate how the friends blend together but also stand out on their own. By the end, everything is resolved and they succeed in adding some valuable items to the camp. This series has been a joy to share with upper elementary level readers and they look forward to each new volume.

All of Kayla Miller’s graphic novels are a must-have for a classroom library. The plots are relatable for all kids. Stuck focuses on the challenge of being “stuck” between two of your friends that are fighting. All kids will experience that multiple times in their lives.

Miller's graphic novel series is overall well done, and I have yet to be really disappointed in any of the books in the series. The Besties are a little less strong in my view, but still solid. I was definitely happy to read more about Olive and her friends; and there is always a lesson or two to be learned from the story as it evolves. In this case, Olive was stuck between two friends who were fighting - and they really bugged me because of it - and was pulled in so many directions that it caused her to step away from the things that mattered most to her. Building a bat house was something that Olive really wanted to accomplish, as well as putting forward a great idea for the camp around being environmentally friendly and more sustainable. But she got so stuck in the drama of her two friends, that it took her a really long time to figure out that her role was to be happy and to let them figure out their battle and conflict themselves.
Ultimately, she learns to step away and not try to arbitrate and, in so doing, finds herself spending more time with a disgruntled and rude Nat. And she finds out that Nat isn't as bad as she thinks. Although that always seems to be an underlying message in all the books because Nat almost always does something mean and then they realize she's not so bad after all.
The illustrations are, as always, nicely done. And this book can definitely be a stand alone, although I do think it's good to read the series in order for these simply because the character development happens over each volume.
