A review by kellylynnthomas
Giant Days by Non Pratt, Boom! Studios
4.0
This YA novel by Non Pratt is a part of the fantastic comic series GIANT DAYS and takes place within the events of volumes 1-3 of the comic. However, you do NOT need to have read the comic to enjoy this book. I would recommend reading the comic, because it's amazing, but the novel is a great place to start as well!
Like the comics, the novel follows Susan, Esther and Daisy, along with their friend Ed and Susan's frenemy McGraw during their first semester of university. Their friendships are tested by a number of factors--the past, forces of evil, and a yogic cult? Yes, that's right--Daisy gets sucked into a yogic cult, and it's up to Susan and Esther to save her!
The plot sounds a little ridiculous, but like the comics, the book is a fun romp filled with heart and emotion. And really, college is pretty crazy and is the most dramatic thing ever while you're in the thick of it, so I'd say this is pretty accurate to how college feels. Even if you've never been to college, though, the universal themes of friendship and finding your place in the world will resonate with you.
