This is actually a great adaptation of this book, even though it's been awhile since I read the original. I felt like the themes and the emotions still rang true throughout the story. At first, it felt like kind of a strange novel to adapt into a graphic novel, but the story actually worked really well in this context.
The art is wonderful, and I think this will reach a new generation of readers who need this story. Bullying is still very relevant to current teens, and there are a lot of them who will see themselves in Piddy's story.
