Timid: A Graphic Novel by Jonathan Todd
3.5
I received a copy of Timid by Jonathan Todd from Scholastic Canada in exchange for an honest review.
In this semiautobiographical middle grade graphic novel, Timid tells the story of a young boy who is trying to fit in, find his voice, and also find friends who are true and genuine. When Cecil and his family move to a new city, he worries about making new friends and fitting in. He struggles to find his friends and wants to be able to find others who share his hobbies and interests. But the attention he gets for his art takes a turn when he finds others taking advantage of him. Cecil finds that he needs to look closer at the people around him to find true friends.
