Graphic novel about the joys and concerns of starting a new school year. What will Squish do to fit in with the cool kids? Is it worth it?

If you haven't read the new Squish book that just came out, go read it...what are you waiting for. Once you do, you'll want to mark the second one that will be out in September. Won't review it now, but just to say a good book to kick off the new school year.

Squish is back with an all-new adventure. It's the first day of school and Squish is determined to make a fresh start and be cool this year. But when that means being mean to his oldest friends, Squish must decide if it's worth it. We've come to expect realistic characters and heartfelt storylines from Jennifer L. Holm & Matthew Holm and the team does not disappoint with the newest Squish title.

I enjoyed this one. There's a lesson to be learned and that's great! I recommend this whole series to your kids. Definitely worth getting.

This was cute. A new year for Squish! I like how the comic within the comic has something to do with what is going on for Squish and helps him make a decision. And the science experiment at the end! :D

The "less-girly" equivalent of Babymouse. Has very similar story line and formatting, and comparable charm. I can see how this and Babymouse could be super addictive for kid readers. I would have wanted to whole collection from my Scholastic book order!

Seriously, is there anything Jennifer L. Holm cannot do? She's my children's literary hero.

Very enjoyable quick read. I like that there is actual science in these ones.
