This book could be used for grades 4-6 where students are going through changes like braces and glasses. It could help students feel more comfortable about themselves.
This was cute and the imagery is very well done, its easy to see the emotions of the characters just from the drawings. I'm not sure I really liked the ghost element of this story, in fact I kind of wish it was just about a young girl with a sister that is sick moving to a new state and a new home. ...
Cute graphic novel based on the authors childhood, and the struggles faced in the tween/early teen years, especially when braces are involved.

But it came up on my book club's reading...
I'm happy that these comics are introducing a new generation to the Baby-Sitters Club. However, I'm not a huge fan of the format. For me the best parts of the books were the descriptions at the beginning and every one of Claudia's outfits. Telgemeier tried but will never be able to capture the magic...
