From the author and illustrator of the books Squished and Allergic comes Winging It, a graphic novel that is simply wonderful to read! Main character Luna, named after the illusive luna moth, is uprooted by her father to move from California to Northern Virginia to live with her grandmother. Grandma is strict, and doesn't seem to want the new family moving in. On top of that, Luna has to make new friends while missing her old friends terribly. Luna's mom died when Luna was a baby, so she counts on her mom's nature journals to get to know her, and slowly Luna becomes enamored with nature and the outdoors. Not surprisingly, Luna makes new friends, tries new things, and begins her search to see, in person, her first luna moth!
The story flows very easily, and is believable without being too simple or too choppy. The artwork is also simple, but so perfect for the story! Any fans of newer graphic novels from author Reina Telgemeier, or titles and series like Babysitters Club, Lumberjanes and New Kid will really love this release, I think! I was sad when I finished it, but immediately asked my human to add Lloyd and Nutter's other two books to the school library collection. A real treat, and you'll simply adore Luna! 5 paws!
