review 1: I came home with a large bag of books from my library sale, and this was one in the stack. Dodo is diagnosed with ADD, and has been expelled from school. And if that was not bad enough, her Dad has a new job and the family needs to move from Los Angeles to San Francisco. To keep her amused during the move, Dodo is given a sketchbook and a pen, and she finds a new passion - doodling and journaling. She chronicles the challenges of the move, a new school and making new friends. This graphic novel's pages are full of "handwritten" text and doodles, and will resonate with middle grade kids who find they do not fit in for whatever reason.
review 2: I loved this book. We had just gotten some new books in my school library, and I knew this was the one for me. Of cours
... moree, it's hard to read at first, because it's all complicated and doodley, but at some point you get the hang of it. That is pretty much the only bad thing about this book. Let me take that back. It's not even BAD, and my REAL star rating is 4 and 3/4, but IT DOESN"T LET ME DO THAT. Anyway, it's a grest book. less

Visually interesting with emotional connections. Like listening to a friend.

I think this is an awsome book. I think I learned some things about myself.

The story itself is interesting enough but it's so hard to follow!
