Geeky Fab 5 Vol. 1: It's Not Rocket Science by Liz Lareau, Lucy Lareau
4.0
This graphic novel centers around Lucy, her sister and her 3 new friends. When the playground at school is rendered useless and the school can't afford to build a new one, the friends steps up to the task of raising the money. The problem is, some students don't want them to succeed.
It's at story about the stereotypes surrounding girls and women, about bullying, about standing up for what you believe in. It's a good book, challenging and discussing the problems of being raised and living in the patriarchy we do. It does tend to become a bit "text book" and "we can do it", though. I don't know if it's because it needs to be spelled out for the younger kids reading this or if the author tries to hard, but it's for a good cause, I guess.
The illustrations really fit the story and I loved the cat, Hubble. It's a great story for middle grade-kids!
Thank you, Netgalley and the publisher, for letting me read this book!
