This graphic novel was seriously precious.
Our main character is so excited about getting a dog (umm..I would be too). Then she finds out she’s allergic! (ugh so am I!) She continues a search for a suitable pet and a friend that she can have to herself.
I saw myself in this story so many times and it was just an overall adorable and sweet tale.

I thought this did an excellent job of showing how difficult allergies can be for people and how little others understand that, without being heavy-handed. Even those readers without allergies will be able to identify with the family and friendship dynamics.

I received this book from Edelweiss/publisher in exchange of an honest review.
I have quite hyped about this book for some time. Imagine my delight when I was chosen to participate in the blog tour + I got an ecopy of the book to read. This book feels like it will hit quite close home for me. A girl with tons of allergies, from food to animals to plants/pollen. There are enough non-fiction books about allergies, but there are not so many books for either children or adults featuring an MC with allergies in fiction setting.
I remember being a kid and classmates and friends having pets in all sorts of forms (which didn’t make visiting them easy), in the meantime my first pet was for years fishes. After that I tried hamsters and mice, which made my allergies flare up (some times more than others), but I just wanted something that I could also play with and cuddle with. These days I have hamsters and yes, my allergies flare up at times, feeling itchy, out of breath, sneezing, and more, but is it worth it? Yes. I got some cute babies, and I will take the consequences. My favourite pet, cats, well never going to happen, with medicines and all that I feel crappy but I can live, but medicines won’t save me 100% of the time. And riding a horse, something I have always wanted since I was a kid. Never going to happen. Not only the horse would give allergies, but also the dust of the place it stays in, the hay, and other things.

Super cute graphic novel about a young girl with allergies. It was sad to see her missing out on things but wholesome how her friends and family cared about her

This book is super adorable. The art is terrific and I loved how realistic the story felt. Life throws Maggie a serious curveball and her journey to understand and live with her allergies is great for kiddos learning flexibility and resilience.
