Pretty decent, with lots to appeal to teen girls.

Angsty teen discovering herself and her beliefs. A reflection, of sorts.

Another disappointing title from Minx. While some characters are interesting, the protagonist is blank. She doesn't seem to have a mind of her own and her only real interest is "getting the guy." And as with Water Baby (also published by Minx), the book felt unfinished at the end. No conclusions were drawn, no plot threads solved. Just...blank, like the main character.

When Danni's mother moves in with a new boyfriend, Danni develops a major crush on her gorgeous and mysterious soon-to-be step-brother, Haskell. Danni gets in over her head in Haskell's environmental crusade in order to get him to notice her and the consequences may be deadly.

This graphic novels feels like the creation of a high school honors English project that was trying really hard to be edgy and different. Instead of being cool and engaging, the characters and storyline come across as unimaginative and unrealized stereotypes. There are many amazing graphic novels out there!

This was one of those graphic novels that I wish was actually a book that had been turned into a graphic so I could go back and read the novel. There was so much story, it was so rich, but I felt like I wanted more. More dialogue, more history, more story. Danni is wonderfully refreshing. Her mother, not the typical stays-with-abusive-boyfriend stock. There's mystery that never really gets revealed, but bravery abound.

Danni and her mom move to a small logging town in Oregon, where they move in with her mom's alcoholic boyfriend and Danni begins to crush on her soon-to-be stepbrother. She gets wrapped up in his hardcore environmentalism, which begins to branch into levels of ecoterrorism.
This book didn't quite come together for me. There was an intro scene that set up its own conflict as a result of the central story, but the into scene was never resolved. I didn't really care much about Danni or any of the characters and I didn't get why she fell for her would-be stepbrother, except that he was really cute. So, this was okay, but not great.

This book probably doesn't deserve two stars. It's pretty stupid and reads a bit like Go Ask Alice or Jay's Journal in that it seems ridiculous and fake. The main difference is that those books are a lot more entertaining and I don't think Burnout is trying to teach a moral lesson other than "shit's crazy."
You know how Minx books have previews of up and coming books at the end? Well the one about the big breasted teenager who gets her leg bit off by a shark looks terrible. What's the deal Minx? The early books showed so much promise.
