A review by gracepizza40
Funny Girl by Betsy Bird
Did not finish book.
I don't like it.
Raina's comic infuriated me. What kind of example is stomping on a bee (killing it) so you could pet it? Bees are crucial to our world. Without them, we would die. So the fact that young Raina just stomped on it was really careless and stupid. I know she was just a kid, but come on, not a good example for kids- it just teaches them to be scared of bees and not respect them.
The period one was not great, I wish it better represented periods and people with them. :/
I hated Lisa Graff's Over and Out. Why did they have to act like that...
The zodiac one was a terrible representation of the Chinese Zodiac.
I don't recommend this book to anyone I wouldn't have enjoyed this as a kid either.
