So many of my 4th, 5th, and 6th grade students would devour this and the upcoming graphic novel series. Its reads as the kind of book a student wouldn't want to put down. These illustrations are delightful. They're full of life and the use of color is delicious. I love the imaginary world and how the quest is helping Nola during her time of pain. As a teacher, I always wish our standard for higher level vocabulary was taken up a notch in children/ya literature. While the story arc is solid and I look forward to more from this collaboration in the future, I wish they would push the figurative story elements a little harder and challenge their readers with their word choice.
★★★★
