Librarian Book Review: Frazzled

BOOK TITLE:
Frazzled: Everyday Disasters and Impending Doom by Booki Vivat
​
BOOK SUMMARY: 
Meet Abbie Wu! She’s about to start middle school and she’s totally in crisis.
Abbie Wu is in crisis—and not just because she’s stuck in a family that doesn’t quite get her or because the lunch ladies at school are totally corrupt or because everyone seems to have a “Thing” except her. Abbie Wu is in crisis always.

REVIEW:
Frazzled illustrates (literally…) the thoughts and emotions surrounding the uncomfortable and incredibly awkward transition to middle school. Abbie is frantically searching for her “Thing.” That thing that will help her decide an elective course and show her fellow classmates what she excels at. With her two best friends by her side she starts her own lunchroom revolution which in turn helps her figure out who she is and why she is an important component  to her middle school class. This story is very funny and has a lot of great illustrations which makes it very much like a graphic novel.

OVERALL THOUGHTS:
This is a great book for the middle school age group or those elementary school students who are worried about graduating to middle school. Abbie is over the top but relatable.
