Wow! I ordered this fumetto as soon as I was done with Dramacon, Vol. 3. First surprise: this book isn't in black and white but in colors. The pastel tones used throughout the graphic novel are fantastic. I usually like bright colors but I think that they worked perfectly for this volume. The story is set in a middle school but I'm sure that it can be read by adults as well: I really enjoyed it. It also makes me a bit envious of North-American schools. We were lucky to have a small gym - just a tad larger than a volley-ball field - and a garden with a basketball court. No labs, no clubs, no sports. So it's always interesting to read that these things exist really in other places. I love the story. It was easy to distinguish the characters (which is always a major problem for me) both from a visual and a personality-based point of view. The plot was also very interesting. The cardinal rule #3 for surviving school is perfect. I'm ready for more Čmatova.

O livro e muito bom. Eu pessoalmente ameii e super recomendo.

Lo compré para mi hijo de 12 años, era lectura recomendada en inglés para 1ESO. Se le hizo pesado porque no es fácil de entender, finalmente lo leímos juntos y nos gustó mucho a los dos, los personajes son geniales y la historia es muy bonita.

I bought this book after reading Roller Girl and found it whilst commenting on it. I thought this book had a cute cover so I got my parents to buy it for me. I read it nonstop and loved everything about it. My favourite part is when Mr R keeps printing stacks of paper when they only needed 20, also the rivalry between the art club and the science club is really funny and I love what happens at the end. I would recommend this book to anyone aged 9-13 and is definitely a must read for any fans of Roller Girl.

My pupils love it!
