Good moments, but also didn't click with me. Thanks Netgalley for a copy! Won't be posting a review here, people can be so angry about things and not in the mood for that.

I received a copy of this graphic novel through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

This was a very cute and funny comic book to read. I hadn’t heard about the original comic strip by the first author but I did a bit of research and it looked also incredibly funny and sweet but in my opinion the new author’s style works better for an actual graphic novel collection book, it just looks more fitting. It’s also nice when the characters eventually get older, not stay forever the same.

This was enjoyable! Reminded me of the Foxtrot comic books I devoured as a kid. Heart is just as scheming and dramatic as Jason and is the perfect theater kid.

This collection of comic strips by Steenz flew me back to my days as a goofy 11 year old. This would have been just the sort of comic strip I would have read and re-read over and over again. Delightful humour and a charming drawing style, I felt instant nostalgia reading this! I loved it, and hope to see a sequel soon!

This graphic novel is very clever and funny at times, but it never fully gels together as a story. Because it is based on a comic strip, it makes sense that it would have miniature story arcs and feel a bit choppy at times, but there were enough ongoing narrative threads that it felt like the story was missing pieces. The ending is also extremely abrupt. If there are sequels, I will probably read them, but I would rank this low as a potential recommendation because there are so many better options out there.

This is a very cute middle grade graphic novel. It’s age appropriate for elementary or middle school kids. I laughed at the cheesy jokes and funny storylines. The characters are all likeable easy to relate to. I read an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
