Cici's Journal by Joris Chamblain
4.0

A lovely set of mysteries for kids. Cici is a feisty and fun character with plenty of rough edges to explore. Her friends tend to get drug along on mystery solving expeditions whether they like it or not which leads to some infighting & character growth opportunities. The Cici/Mom relationship is frustrating but feels real. If the series continues I hope we'll get to see more of their relationship as it shifts and grows (& maybe some back story?). The art is super cute & looks fantastic in the comic sections & the letters and Cici's illustrations in the other bits help connect you to Cici and understand her thoughts nicely. Perfect for the young detective in your life or anyone looking for a beautifully illustrated little mystery.
