Nothing Special, Volume 1 by Katie Cook
4.5
Summary:
All her life, Callie has been told never to cross the boundary. But the day her father goes missing is the day she'll have to disobey his only rule – it's her only chance to save him. Luckily, Callie isn't alone. She has her friend, Declan, and a friendly radish spirit to keep her company.
Nothing Special was originally a Webtoon (It still is, really), but now the first season is available for readers who prefer a hard copy.
Review:
I'm not gonna lie – I've been meaning to dig into Nothing Special for WAY too long. So, obviously, I was thrilled when I saw that Nothing Special Vol. 1 was on the publication lineup. It's the perfect excuse to get caught up (in theory).
Nothing Special Vol. 1 is a fun and sweet comic. I adore the friends-to-lover trope, especially as portrayed here. The characters and the plot are also a lot of fun. While a fair bit of danger is involved, it never hits that point of being overwhelming, you know? As such, it's a solid read for most age groups.
I bet most people come out of Nothing Special with a favorite character. For me, that's probably Radish. They're hilarious and a fantastic comedic relief for the series. I hope Radish stays forever (sorry, Declan, I know you're not Radish's favorite person).
Read Nothing Special Vol. 1 if you're hoping to dive into a fun adventure with limitless potential.
Highlights:
Middle-Grade Graphic Novel
Fantasy
Magic & Critters
