This is part of my Eisner reading list and it’s actually quite cute and charming. It could be a cartoon on tv. A young precocious, ostracized, because she’s a “nerd”, girl ends up trying to get to the bottom of supposed sightings of a yeti in the male locker room. There’s lots of silly gags and personality quirks assigned to all the kids. It almost feels like watching an episode of The Simpsons, except it’s clearly mostly aimed at children and much less cerebral regarding themes.

This middle grade graphic novel is interesting. It flows well but is a tad bit wordy. It’s about a gal who runs the school newspaper in elementary school and her strive to find a good story. She’s tired of cafeteria stories and decides that she’s going to hunt for the cryptid everybody thinks is hiding in the locker room. The story is relatively short and easy, and it works, but great literature it’s not. It will not be here in 20 years so enjoy it while it is

4 stars = Great!
This was cute! The characters are fun, the story is just the right amount of silly. I enjoyed the sibling relationship here, and the interactions between the main kids.
