Shiny Misfits: A Graphic Novel by Maysoon Zayid
4.0
I received a copy of Shiny Misfits by Maysoon Zayid and Shadia Amin from Scholastic Canada in exchange for an honest review.
Bay Ann just wants to shine and be recognized for her talent and it would appear that her time has finally come at the school talent show. She gives a fantastic tap dance performance but at the end of the night, her classmate, Alyee Maq causes her to wobble and almost fall. He ends up helping her and then becomes a viral sensation for his act of "helping her." Bay Ann, on the other hand, becomes the girl with the disability that he helped. Bay Ann is not pleased with the way things have turned out and tries to do everything she can do to become viral on her own talent and skills.
This is an inspiring and heartfelt middle grade graphic novel that features a main character with a disabilitiy and a shining personality. Bay Ann is not someone to. be casted aside or to be stereotyped by her disabilities and she will inspire all readers to be in charge of their own stories.
