I thought this book was a cute little graphic novel. I wish the story kept going because I wanted to see what was going to happen. I kind of thought that the novel was a tiny bit in all different places but it still kept coming back to what it needed to. I did really like this book and think its totally worth the read!

Minx.
This was fine. I appreciate that the authors tried to address issues of environmentalism and ecoterrorism within a graphic novel for tween girls. But like a couple of other Minx titles, I felt like they tried to do too much for the restrictions of the publication. Crushes on an almost family member, friendship with an "enemy," and domestic violence/alcoholism are all touched on, but I wanted more from the story. The ending felt like a cop-out to me.
But yay for setting it in the NW!

Pretty decent, with lots to appeal to teen girls.

Angsty teen discovering herself and her beliefs. A reflection, of sorts.

Another disappointing title from Minx. While some characters are interesting, the protagonist is blank. She doesn't seem to have a mind of her own and her only real interest is "getting the guy." And as with Water Baby (also published by Minx), the book felt unfinished at the end. No conclusions were drawn, no plot threads solved. Just...blank, like the main character.

When Danni's mother moves in with a new boyfriend, Danni develops a major crush on her gorgeous and mysterious soon-to-be step-brother, Haskell. Danni gets in over her head in Haskell's environmental crusade in order to get him to notice her and the consequences may be deadly.

This graphic novels feels like the creation of a high school honors English project that was trying really hard to be edgy and different. Instead of being cool and engaging, the characters and storyline come across as unimaginative and unrealized stereotypes. There are many amazing graphic novels out there!

This was one of those graphic novels that I wish was actually a book that had been turned into a graphic so I could go back and read the novel. There was so much story, it was so rich, but I felt like I wanted more. More dialogue, more history, more story. Danni is wonderfully refreshing. Her mother, not the typical stays-with-abusive-boyfriend stock. There's mystery that never really gets revealed, but bravery abound.
