"A smart, affecting graphic young adult novel," declares the New York Times.Before you write me off as a delusional psycho, think about what it's like to be thrown into a situation where everyone knows everyone... and no one knows you. Sadie has the perfect plan to snag some friends when she transfers to Plainfield High—pretend to have a peanut allergy. But what happens when you have to hand in that student health form your unsuspecting mom was supposed to fill out? And what if your new friends want to come over and your mom serves them snacks? (Peanut butter sandwich, anyone?) And then there's the bake sale, when your teacher thinks you ate a brownie with peanuts. Graphic coming-of-age novels have huge cross-over potential, and Peanut is sure to appeal to adults and teens alike.

Dear diary, I am so glad I wasn't this ... What? Dumb? Weird? Desperate? I don't know, actually ... In high school. Thank bob that my parents kept a pretty even keel, and I grew up pretty well-adjusted and never faked a life-threatening allergy. I did pretend I needed glasses for a few months though...

I'm leaning more towards a 1.5 because this work is largely inoffensive, but I still found it so uninspiring that I can't bring myself to bump it up to 2 stars.But before I get into that, I think I should explain something a little more personal first: I suffer from food allergies (including peanuts...

The synopsis really says it all. So, here is my take on it. I LOVED LOVED LOVED the cover. I couldn’t wait to pick this one up and read it. BUT, I HATED HATED HATED the main character.Here we have a girl who is changing schools and leaving her best friend behind. Sure, she’s nervous. I get that. ...
