Description
A New York Times bestseller!

Making friends isn't easy, but losing them is even harder!Natalie has never felt that she's enough — athletic enough, stylish enough, or talented enough. And on the first day of middle school, Natalie discovers that things are worse than she thought — now she's not even cool enough for her best friend, Lily! As Natalie tries to get her best friend back, she learns more about her true self and natural talents. If Natalie can focus on who she is rather than who she isn't, then she might realize she's more than enough, just the way she is.

        February 10, 2020
        With the humor and illustrative style of a daily newspaper comic, debuting creator Scrivan’s story of middle school minefields is gentle and timeless, if short on edge. After her best friend, Lily, moves out of their neighborhood, bespectacled Natalie Mariano is convinced that middle school presents a chance for the girls to rekindle their “two peas in a pod” friendship, despite signs that Lily has other plans—signs like the one Lily posts on Nathalie’s locker that reads “Natalie is a loser.” Lily’s tactics are cruel and hamfisted, but Natalie continues to pursue her, feeling confused and increasingly uncool. After stumbling through a series of humiliations (being compared to a dog, for one), Natalie embraces a more accepting friend group and her strengths as an artist and writer. The character archetypes and story arc will be familiar to anyone who has lived through adolescence, but for elementary schoolers staring down the barrel of late tweenhood, Scrivan’s colorful diagrams and playful imaginings may be just enough. Ages 8–12.

        Gr 3-6-"Enough is one of those words that looks like it's spelled wrong even when it isn't. Whatever it is, I don't have it." Pouring out her heart into her sketchbook, self-deprecating Natalie confides that she doesn't feel smart, athletic, or popular enough, but her tight friendship with Lily has bolstered her. But when the girls begin middle school, Lily finds a new best friend, and Natalie feels cast adrift. As she struggles to let go of her old friendship, she befriends new classmates and discovers hidden talents. Natalie's new buddies point out that Lily might not be a great friend to Nat, but it takes time for Nat to see this and to recognize the new friends she has made. Scrivan's exuberant, comic strip-esque art and simple dialogue will entice a range of readers, who will relate to Nat's insecurities. Each chapter starts with a quick comic about Nat's cat and dog, whose antics give hints about what will happen to Natalie. The narrative unfolds at a measured pace, but readers will find themselves turning pages to discover what happens. VERDICT Fans of Shannon Hale's Real Friends or Amy Ignatow's "The Popularity Papers" seeking another tale about the highs and lows of friendship will take comfort in seeing earnest Nat come into her own.-Jenni Frencham, Indiana University, Bloomington

        Cartoonist Scrivan's debut graphic novel explores friendship breakups and coming in to one's own. Bespectacled Natalie and her best friend, Lily, used to be "two peas in a pod." But after Lily moves, even though they both start at the same middle school, nothing is the same. Mean and dismissive, Lily has clearly dropped Natalie for their middle school's cool girl, but Natalie is desperate to win her back no matter what. Convinced she's "not enough" as she is, she tries everything from a new hat to suppressing her creativity. While she faces mild bullying from Lily and another classmate, a few newfound friends work unwaveringly to support Natalie in her journey to rebuild her self-esteem: "I've spent so much time thinking about what I'm not good at...that I never think about what I am good at." Both the illustration style and slice-of-life pacing have an early-2000s feel--think Amelia's Notebook rather than Raina Telgemeier. Natalie's first-person narration is so self-focused that secondary characters are exclusively there to contribute to her character development. Readers learn next to nothing about the internal lives of Natalie's kind new friend Zoe or her crush, Derek, both kids of color. (Both Natalie and Lily are white.) While this isn't unfitting--the premise is that this is Natalie's sketchbook--it makes for underwhelming representation. Could pack more of a punch, but Natalie's straightforward, heartfelt story will still resonate. (Graphic fiction. 10-12)

        Grades 3-6 Natalie loves to write and draw, but she never feels like she's good enough at anything she does. Now that middle school has started, her best friend, Lily, has pulled away and is being mean. What is Natalie going to do without her best friend in this new world of makeup, boys, and older teens? She thinks she needs to win Lily back, but friends Zoe and Flo help her realize she needs to be true to herself. When the chance arises to submit her comic book to a state-wide writing contest, she realizes that she's good enough and deserves to be happy. Debut graphic novelist Scrivan, drawing on personal experience, presents the story through Natalie's sketchbook, allowing for the occasional doodled asides to interrupt the traditionally paneled narrative. Her art employs a somewhat loose, cartoony style?bright with dappled watercolors?befitting a middle-school artist. This story of growing up is a perfect read for students new to middle school and those questioning where their talents lie.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2020, American Library Association.)
