Cash & Carrie Book 2: Summer Sleuths! by Giulie Speziani, Shawn Pryor

3.0

More like 2.5 Stars. While this wasn’t the best graphic novel that I’ve read, I did enjoy parts of it. I think that I may have lost a little context of the book because I didn’t read the first volume but I did enjoy how the book explored concepts of friendship. The main characters were really compassionate towards the characters who were having trouble with the individual who was attempting to sabotage the color wars. I wish that the author would have explored why one of the characters even wanted to sabotage the color wars. It was glossed over and the reader never gets the opportunity to understand the motive behind why the character wanted to potentially hurt other characters to win. I also didn’t enjoy the fact that the art changed once the kids got back to school. I’m not sure if this is because it isn’t published yet but it wasn’t consistent with the first part of the book so even the main characters look different. I would recommend this to middle grade students that I encounter at the library.
