I picked this up from a little free library for my classroom because my students love graphic novels. I read it quick to see if it was appropriate for them. Mostly, I thought it was. A couple of swear words, though. Also, it was hilarious to me how many characters were boyfriend/girlfriend in middle school. I liked how it very naturally included diverse characters without making a big deal of it. I also appreciated how it brought it topics like body autonomy in an age-appropriate way. Not sure if it’s the right fit for my classroom, though
