This is an interesting story, but not a stand-out graphic novel to me. The artwork definitely fits into the Scholastic graphix style so it just didn't stand out and so the storyline is the only thing that moved this story forward. Definitely an interesting story based on real life--I think kids will be a little confused about when it happens--while it says it happens in the '80s, I don't think it is recognizable throughout as the 80's.
