The eleven-year-old recommended this to me ages ago and I just got around to reading it. She's a big fan of Raina Telgemeier, so I can see why she liked Awkward. It's a solid story about school and friendship. I'm not sure I'll check out the author's other books. I'm waiting to see if the eleven-yea...
Jorge Ruiz is bigger than most of his classmates, but he uses his powers for good and helps keep the peace in the halls of Berrybrook Middle School, which, despite its utopian-esque levels of diversity and vibrant club-driven atmosphere, still has a bullying problem. Of course it does, because middl...

I am in such a juvenile children's book mood this month. And, Awkward just keeps it going. I loved everything about this. The drawings are wonderful, the characters are quirky and the story gives a really good message. Penelope starts out her first day at middle school on a bad step. She's made fu...

Of course, that fails almost immediately when she trips in the hall to universal laughter, then gets helped up by an unpopular kid, Jaime. After shoving h...
