This is exactly what I thought my diary entries looked like in middle school - random side notes, illustrations to go along with my entries, spelling errors, drama, and BIG emotions regarding friendship, pressures in school ,what it means to be "mature," etc - life as a 12 year old girl who begins to see the world in its not-so-innocent way

Finally got around to this middle grade graphic novel that was one of the 2024 Rainbow List selections from ALA, and it's such a delight! This book captures the difficulty that is 7th grade, while also discovering that you might be different from everyone else. It captures that feeling of middle school so perfectly.

The art in this is also just lovely! Dåsnes captures feelings so well through color and expressions. I can definitely see why this book got so much praise!

this is one of the most adorable books i’ve ever read
Tuva’s story really hit for me, honestly i think this is probably one of the best books about growing up (also translated! and queer!! woo!!!)
also an incredibly cozy art style and i adore Tuva’s dad <3
