librarybonanza 's review for:

Go with the Flow by Lily Williams, Karen Schneemann
4.0

Age: Middle School-High School
Activism: Menstrual Movement

Frustrated by her high school's understocked tampon and pad machine, Abby tries to make true change at her school for the betterment of her classmates and friends. Keeping a blog, Abby pieces out period stigma in history and modern day while trying to figure out how she can make a difference. Always supportive, Brit, Christine, and the new girl Sasha, follow Abby's lead until she takes it a little too far.

While Abby's activist journey is a large part of the plot, Williams maintains a relatable friendship story for readers, providing an accessible bridge to an unfortunately taboo subject for middle and high school girls.

Fans of realistic graphic novels get important exposure to a subject they may feel ashamed about discussing.
