Koko Be Good by Jen Wang
2.0
This is the first First Second story that has let me down. Everything else was great.
The art work is 3 colors, black, white, brown. It does help set the tone of overall blah-ness happening. This is a coming of age story.
I'll be honest, I had a hard time following everything that was going on. There wasn't great connections happening and I mostly followed. Koko wants to be good and it makes her angry how difficult that is for her. She ends up giving away all her stuff for charity thinking this is the answer. Jon is in love - he doesn't know what to do with his life either. As long as he can be with his girlfriend in Peru, his life will be ok. That's really all I got from this story.
I can't recommend it.
