challenging dark funny hopeful inspiring sad fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes

Adding artwork to this story was an incredible decision. I fell in love (and hate) with Melinda's story many, many years ago and have used it to teach students for years. Adding the graphics to it just made it all the more poignant and real.
