A review by rdyourbookcase
Calvin by Martine Leavitt

4.0

I suppose this is an outdoorsy book - one I wouldn’t normally gravitate towards. However, when I picked it up, all I knew was that it was related to Calvin and Hobbes. The story moves quickly, and begins with Calvin needing medical attention in class. From there, the reader learns more about Calvin’s health situation and what he thinks is real. I love how readers were kept wondering about Susie, and how her character understood Calvin so well. Also, the ending was perfect. It didn’t disappoint, but it was realistic and it stays true to Calvin’s character. Overall, Calvin was short and charming, perfect for reluctant readers.
