Really good interesting characters with an interesting and unlikely friendship. A quick and enjoyable read, and I look forward to more in the series.

This was a really cute graphic novel perfect for children to read during the summer months!

There was so much inclusivity naturally weaved into the story; it makes my heart so happy to know how many kids will feel represented within this book! Although I wasn't the intended audience, I think this offers many lessons to younger readers about friendship, trust, and illness.

Highly recommend for a fun and fast-paced read!

Great for kids interested in detective stories. Unlikely friendship between a sports oriented girl and a girl target of bullying.
About friendship,

انا قرأت النسخة العربية من الكتاب، فمن المنطقي اكتب تقييمي بالعربي لول. المهم، كتاب حلو ولطيف كتير، خفيف، وبطلعك من الreading slump تبعَك. وفيو عِبَر وأحكام ومواعظ كتير.
- اهمية الصداقة
- الحوار والتفاهم لحل المشاكل
- عدم الحكم على الكتاب من غلافِه.
الزبدة: اقرؤوه حلو ولطيف كتير
