The Truth About Stacey by Ann M. Martin, Raina Telgemeier
2.0
Genre: graphic novel
Summary: Stacey has diabetes but her friends don't understand it so she feels isolated and alone, but as she helps the baby-sitter's club overcome some job competition she learns how to handle her condition and find friends again.
Response: I read the baby-sitters club books when I was younger and I loved them. This is the same story in a different genre, a graphic novel which tells the story more in pictures than words. It was a very quick read but it did deal with a variety of teen issues like identity, fitting in, bullies and interacting with adults. It's hard when reading a book that is so heavily based on images, that the imagination is somewhat contained to those images, versus what the reader would like.
