Mexikid by Pedro Martín

adventurous funny medium-paced

4.0

This got a bunch of different honors at the Youth Media Awards, so I figured why not pick it up! The overall tone hits its target audience, and though there is a lot going on in the story itself, it doesn't feel like it's too overwhelming. There's a lot in here that kids will definitely love!

There is a bit of animal death there at the end, so beware of that if you pick this one up. I enjoyed the back matter as well, with pictures and such from Martín's actual childhood. Lots of kids will relate to his family life, and the graphic novel form definitely makes it more accessible. Overall, definitely an enjoyable book!
