Dang. This book kind of broke my heart.

Wanted to understand the Caldecott controversy. Illustrations are gorgeous, but I think saying this is for Caldecott age group is a stretch, even allowing for the up to 14 argument. Skim was solidly YA, I see this as the same.

This was a nice read, very low-key and slice-of-life. It felt that the book was building to an emotional climax that never truly came–at least not like I had hoped/expected.

The artwork is gorgeous but I didn't really connect to the story.

Again a YA graphic novel, but a better one at that. Some strong female characters and a good plot line.
Would recommend.

A graphic novel about an important summer for a young teen and her friend, as the girls grow and change, sometimes connecting and sometimes irritating each other. A very real look at a small summer in a person's life.

I liked the art style, but none of the characters. Didn't find anything endearing or appealing about any of them to make me care about their problems.

Very pretty tale of a summer at the beach through the eyes of two young girls. Illustrations are sweet and lovely.

Kept reading but never got the point.

I really did enjoy this book. I didn't truly know what to expect and even though i wish it was longer everything really flowed with the characters and you were able to see a little bit of their back stories. The illustrations were great too.

As with others my review seems to be, “Well, that was certainly a book.” I need time to think about how I feel in terms of a rating.

Art was beautiful, though.

Ugh, I mean yes - all of that and beautiful. But way to be a teenage shit narrator-girl.
