I LOVED this book so much! Letās talk about @graphixbooks & Clain donāt shy away from period talk or experience in this title. We need more period positive novels so Iām thrilled this is written for 3rd-7th graders and so many people will see themselves on the pages. I canāt wait to see the final copy, but appreciated @scholastic sending the ARC. I am also pumped itās going to be a series, because the ending definitely left me wanting more! This graphic novel releases June 4!
CW: physical pain brought on by menstruation, immigration issues
4.5 āļø rounded up!
