what a freaking adorable and heartwarming story! If you're a fan of the Sheets series, I highly recommend this middle grade graphic novel! 

My two favorite things about this story is 1) the theme of getting older and how it's a gift and 2) the illustration style. It's so cute and magical.

A very sweet coming of age story! The art style is gorgeous, the characters likeable, and the message to keep holding onto your magic is definitely well transmitted.

La traduction française comporte quelques maladresses, mais aussi des notes qui aideront les lecteur-ices plus jeunes à comprendre certaines références culturelles !

Minor: Child death and Chronic illness

Chronic illness and child death:

one of the main characters, Alexa, is the ghost of a girl who died when she was 13 years old, after having been sick all of her childhood. Her story is told over three pages, but very softly and without giving details about the illness itself.
