Because graphic novels always provide a fresh perspective.

I remember when I had the phase back when I was around 11 to read all sorts of graphic novels and comics and it went on for many years until it drifted away. Graphic novels like Bone, Missle Mouse and any graphic novel that Raina Telgemeier would write would have my eyes and my heart.
I've still read graphic novels here and there, but they haven't left as much of an impact as this one has. So, for my first Middle Grade pick, instead of my usual rant on the short version and long version of what this book is about, here are 5 reasons on why you SHOULD pick Lo and Behold up :)
The art style is fun and captures the detailed, yet cartoonish design that gives it a very approachable feel.
It will fly out of your hands by how fast it goes and how you'll laugh and get emotional at the same time.
Addie will hook you in since the first page with her story.
Did I mention that it also involves a dad with a super cool job with VR headsets and with creating new tech that will lead Addie diving into the world of tech and maybe new friends for a whole summer?
Tortoises. So many cute tortoises appear since the the beginning and they're depicted so adorably you'll want to get your own tortoise (NOT a turtle!)
Lo and Behold is set to come out on May 2nd so order your copy now if you haven't already!
Overall: 4.5/5 stars
