 As usual, just a wonderful, funny, and sweet collections of 4-panel webcomics detailing the adventures of Phoebe and Marigold Heavenly Nostrils. Cute plot arc involving Phoebe worrying about debating her friend Max in school (and her surprise that Max has interpreted the "anti" stance very differently LOL) and also a little meta as Phoebe writes and draws (or tries to) her own comic book.

As usual Phoebe and Marigold Heavenly Nostrils take on a delightfully unhinged adventure and I couldn't help but smile as I read this one. One of my favorite things about these books is that sometimes they seem a  little disjointed, with different plot lines and characters popping up, but as you read they really do all weave together and give some great messages to kids. In this one I also really appreciate the short aside about Marigold going to therapy and needing her privacy while still hammering home the importance of therapy. It was just a short section, but I personally always love when therapy is normalized for kids. 

This is another great addition and I can't wait to add it to the library!
