Audience: The book is intended for ages 13 and up
Appeal: I think that this could appeal to older Elementary school students. They might find the Day of the Dead interesting.
Strengths: The story can help students deal with death and dying. It can help them realize to celebrate the life of a loved one and not be sad. They can learn about another culture.
Weaknesses: None that I can think of. One of the characters has a disease that might need to be discussed because the students might not know what it is.
Special considerations: The author is a New York Times #1 best seller. As I said earlier, the graphic novel can help kids deal with death and dying.
Verdict: I would recommend this graphic novel for older Elementary and middle school libraries. This will help the students come to terms with life. It is a nice way for the students to celebrate a loved ones' life.
I could never keep Raina Telegemeier's books on the shelves. She is loved many readers.
