such a wonderful novel to sit and review! i cant wait to read other graphic novels like this one that cover such important topics like suicide, racism, and transitioning. i love how the main character was a muslim girl (the representation of this book collection is amazing)
i love that my school has free resources to books like these because it could help so many students!

A well-written story that is important to share with people, especially those who may be struggling with body dysmorphia.

Not a fan, it's a good story and worth telling/reading. I know teens and tweens will find this book and find in it courage and strength. Maybe I had my expectations set from the beginning when it opens explaining how the publisher hopes it will be used in classrooms and the teacher section in the back. I just felt like this was middling for what it was, it feels like I'm reading a book that is screaming out, "hey kids like comics let's put real stories in them to educate them". The art is fine, I wasn't a fan but it didn't dislike it, the story is fine but it's so breezy and rushed. This book is meant for someone, but that someone clearly isn't me.

It’s an educational book, and not one I think is a recreational read, but I’m also pleased to see these issues addressed in memoirs by diverse voices. This is a good tool for educators.
