Since you are all well aware of my obsession with Middle Grade fiction at this point, let’s go ahead and skip that. Can we instead please focus on the growing existence of Middle Grade graphic novels? I am so pleased that there are more and more of these out there, and I’m determined to champion all of them! Kazu Kibuishi’s blurb had me from the moment I saw this book. So I was thrilled when I was asked to join the blog tour. Warning: there’s some gushing ahead. Let’s go ahead and get the small qualms that I had out of the way first, though.
