Book(s) 107: The Dark Matter of Mona Starr by Laura Lee Gulledge AND Giant Days: Not on the Test Edition by John Allison
Reviewing a couple of graphic novels together here. Finishing the month of July reading my library holds as due dates approach and my library bin runneth over.
The Dark Matter of Mona Starr is an intense graphic "memoir" of sorts about how Mona battles her mental illness. From Amazon "Heartfelt, emotionally vulnerable, and visually stunning, The Dark Matter of Mona Starris a story about battling your inner doubts and fears—and finding your creative genius." The book is reviewed for ages 12 and older, and can be a book that shows kids it is okay to ask for help when you are struggling. The book really was beautifully drawn. My rating 4⭐️.
Giant Days is reviewed for 8th grade and higher, about a trio of girls navigating college. They become quick friends once they meet at the beginning of the semester. Think maybe this content should be for high school and older, since the characters are in college and navigate college age relationships and problems. I really enjoyed this graphic novel and will be navigating my way through the other editions, I think there 59 books. My rating 5⭐️.
