okay hey i expected worse tbh. Liberty plot was good. Spinner plot was mostly just okay but it's fine they could put Spinner in any situation and i'll watch/read it like that's my son idk. better illustration style than the other degrassi graphic novel i bought (and have yet to read) - however i will say they did Jimmy dirty as hell like they seemingly just drew a black man and said "yep ! that's Jimmy !" like no actually that is just some guy in a wheelchair. whatever,,,,,,,, it's fine i guess,,,,,,,, it's really not though. really made my head spin that a girl called Spinner a himbo in this like this was published in 2007 i was under the impression that himbo was new slang. anyway idk all in all it's just okay. maybe it would've been better if i was a middle schooler reading it but alas i didn't get into degrassi until the big age of 21 so. here we are.

My second book for Read O Rama.

This graphic novel gives an inside look on Spinner and Liberty during the summer. Spinner is trying to make it up to Darcy and Liberty is dealing with giving up her son and still having feelings for JT.

The art was interesting and pretty easy to tell which characters were who. My only real gripe is that the art sometimes goes into the stapled part of the book, making it difficult to read—needed more of a margin there.

Story wise it better explains Darcy and Spinner’s interaction on the show after Bible camp. It was somewhat amusing that his “guardian angel” was formed after Paige. I liked how Kendra got a cameo. The characters were pretty spot on in this and I enjoyed the humor.

Overall this was a fun addition to the Degrassi series.
