Be Prepared by Vera Brosgol
4.0
More like 3.5 stars. I love Brosgol's artwork but overall the story was just so-so.
It was disheartening to see all the hate and bullying that Vera had to endure from the other kids. At times, Vera was even mean to some of the other kids (E.g. Gregor and Kira). I know that this happens because I am sure that Vera was just trying to figure out how to fit in and was modeling others behavior, but it still stinks! I'm a mom to three girls who have at times had to deal with their own mean girls and I'm probably bringing my own mama bear feelings into this. lol.
I would recommend this to middle-graders who like Raina Telgemeier and Victoria Jamieson.
