MMGM and #IMWAYR: Besties: Work It Out, written by Kayla Miller and Jeffrey Canino and illustrated by Kristina Luu

Hi everyone! I'm still a mess when it comes to commenting on people's blogs, but I'm honestly just glad I've at least kept up my reading habits recently. I do want to thank everyone who filled out my comments survey last week—it gives me a lot of helpful info as I decide how to proceed with the Great Blogger Comment Fiasco of 2022! If you didn't get a chance to fill it out, it's still open, and I'd love your input. Moving along, today we have a review of a delightful  MG graphic novel: Besties: Work It Out , written by Kayla Miller and Jeffrey Canino and illustrated by Kristina Luu! Add it on Goodreads  or preview the illustrations I think my entire existence as a blogger is to solve the problem of books that look like they'll be one thing but are actually another, and Besties: Work It Out  definitely fits into this category! A bit of backstory: Last week, I was reviewing the fourth graphic novel in Kayla Miller's delightful Click  series, comprised

MMGM and #IMWAYR: Huda F Are You? by Huda Fahmy

I hope everyone is doing well! I spent the last couple of days reading The Magic Fish  for the third time, and it just gets better and better every time I come back to it—I don't know if this read-through will allow me to extract every last drop of depth and meaning from it, but that just means I'll have plenty of other chances to further understand the book later in life. Also, as I post this review, I am noticing that Goodreads has redesigned their book pages, and I am screaming a silent " huzzah! "—they don't seem horrendously confusing, and they look  so much  less ancient and more organized than they used to. And one more thing: the application to judge for the Cybils Awards  opens August 17! I had an amazing experience as a Round 2 Judge for Elementary and Middle Grade Nonfiction last year, and I plan to reapply as a judge this year. You can learn more about judging opportunities on this page —the group is always looking for a diverse group of individuals to

#IMWAYR: The Greatest Thing by Sarah Winifred Searle

Update (6/19/2022): I made a small correction to this post. Hello everyone! Today, I am so excited to be recommending a spellbinding YA graphic novel: The Greatest Thing  by Sarah Winifred Searle. Just a heads-up, this book is a young adult (YA) novel, and it contains mature content. Also, I am quoting the content warning from the beginning of the book: "This book contains depictions of self-harm and disordered eating." Add it on Goodreads  or preview the illustrations! Let's start off with the publisher's description  of this book: ********** It’s the first day of sophomore year, and now that Winifred’s two best (and only) friends have transferred to a private school, she must navigate high school on her own. But she isn’t alone for long. In art class, she meets two offbeat students, Oscar and April. The three bond through clandestine sleepovers, thrift store shopping, and zine publishing. Winifred is finally breaking out of her shell, but there’s one secret she can
