wordnerd153 's review for:
Sincerely, Harriet
by Sarah Winifred Searle
Moving to a new city is hard, especially when it's summer vacation, you don't have any friends to keep in touch with, and you think your apartment building might be haunted. Harriet, who has an active imagination, whiles away her days by helping out her elderly neighbor, writing postcards to a couple of kids she met last year at camp, and sulking in her bedroom. When her MS symptoms flair up she comes clean to her parents about how rough the last few weeks have truly been. The story ends with Harriet attending a creative writing course at the public library and connecting with another girl there. Some of the panels don't move the story forward, which makes the book drag, and some readers may not have the background knowledge needed to figure out what is happening with Harriet's illness. This will get circulated among fans of realistic graphic novels, so it is worth owning, but it could've been executed better.
