Publisher Description
A New York Timesbestseller!Making friends isn't easy, but losing them is even harder!Natalie has never felt that she's enough -- athletic enough, stylish enough, or talented enough. And on the first day of middle school, Natalie discovers that things are worse than she thought -- now she's not even cool enough for her best friend, Lily! As Natalie tries to get her best friend back, she learns more about her true self and natural talents. If Natalie can focus on who she is rather than who she isn't, then she might realize she's more than enough, just the way she is.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
With the humor and illustrative style of a daily newspaper comic, debuting creator Scrivan's story of middle school minefields is gentle and timeless, if short on edge. After her best friend, Lily, moves out of their neighborhood, bespectacled Natalie Mariano is convinced that middle school presents a chance for the girls to rekindle their "two peas in a pod" friendship, despite signs that Lily has other plans signs like the one Lily posts on Nathalie's locker that reads "Natalie is a loser." Lily's tactics are cruel and hamfisted, but Natalie continues to pursue her, feeling confused and increasingly uncool. After stumbling through a series of humiliations (being compared to a dog, for one), Natalie embraces a more accepting friend group and her strengths as an artist and writer. The character archetypes and story arc will be familiar to anyone who has lived through adolescence, but for elementary schoolers staring down the barrel of late tweenhood, Scrivan's colorful diagrams and playful imaginings may be just enough. Ages 8 12.
Customer Reviews
Umm what!
So I love this book and all but someone had the nerve to tipe in the comments that it was bad for that I give it 4 stars only for that but the book itself is good okay!
This was amazing
I don’t get how cartoon drawings are childish? I would highly recommend this book to anyone.
Childish
I don’t want to be that person but I’m trying to SAVE young teens (or kids) who are interested in reading this. I understand writing and publishing a book is difficult and mostly when it isn’t even your age group that you are writing for. But there are plenty of authors who accomplish such tasks with great triumph. But sadly for us readers this book was not one of those. The novels plot its self wasn’t bad but the art work and the craft of it was childish and disappointing. Natalie was not realistic. And the dialogue was short and boring. Over all good book but not a young adult novel. Thanks for listening. 😘
