This book let me down a lot. This graphic novel took me in a direction I was not planned for. With graphics novels you have the story and art. The art was amazing. I loved how everything was drawn out and shown for a better idea of what was happening. You needed that with this story because the story itself made no sense. So much was going on and you heard about it and that was the end of it really. The plots of each thing going on never grew and there was no conclusion to anything besides everyone leaving for the summer. I don’t know how to feel about this book but definitely not a new favorite and a bit of a disappointment.
