4.0

A likeable middle-grade heroine with real problems but also support. Realistic but uplifting (except for the fact that their Blueberry Festival pageant is for 4th & 5th graders?)

Loved this book! Shows that crying and toughness are not mutually exclusive. First graphic novel I've ever been able to get into.

Very interesting account of a blind man who traveled all over the world in the 1820s-40s. I learned a lot about the world at that time as well as the courage of this extraordinary man.
