I always enjoy a good graphic novel, so I picked this up at my local library the other day when looking for a lighter read.
This was cute at times, but all the characters were pretty annoying. I empathized with our protagonist because who hasn't clashed with their mom? But I could not buy into the talking dog spirit guardian thing lol. I felt like it would've been a better story if bonding with the dog helped her make changes in her life--it didn't need to be a talking dog! It's also a very easy resolution where speaking up fixes everything, which we all know isn't always the case in real life.
Still, a good message for middle grade readers! Sharing your feelings doesn't make you weak, it makes you human and helps you connect with others.
