MANU by Kelly Fernández
3.5
adventurous lighthearted fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This was adorable! I do wish it would have been a little longer so some of the other background characters could have been developed a little more, because they all kind of blended together. But the story was great, and I loved the friendship between Manu and Josefina. It was so cute.

This kind of gave me The Witch Boy vibes, and I think middle grade fantasy graphic novel readers will love it. It's quirky and fun and just a great story about learning to accept yourself.
