I think if I would've read this when I was 1o years old, I would've loved this! This book would've encouraged me more to pursue writing. I loved following Cici on her adventures on solving mysteries, writing stories, and hanging out with her friends. It was cool to see a mixed media of both graphic novel but also just paragraphs. I felt like I was reading her actual journal/scrap book. The mystery part was so intriguing too! The story overall was very wholesome and it made me miss being a kid again.

I adored this sweet graphic novel. The illustrations are so, so breathtakingly gorgeous and I found the story to be quite touching. I love that Cici is an observer of everyone around her!

I like the writing format, but as an older reader, I could tell it was for middle-grade readers so I wasn't as immersed as I could have been. The little mysteries were heartwarming though.

Very sweet, 5th grade graphic novel.
Set in a lovely, safe world (in Europe, no less), where 10 year old girls can have tree houses in the woods and ride their bikes freely. Adventures, hardships in friendships, excellent depiction of parent/child interaction (it's hard, duh), curiosity and its attendant troubles.
Well rounded, heartbreakingly innocent, uplifting. I laughed, I cried. I want to live in a world with less traffic, street cafes, woods to roam through with my friends, and the belief that the world is good and interesting.
I may be completely tainted by the news of the day.
