“I just get nervous All the time.
Even when I really don’t want to, when I want to be brave or daring.
Instead I just get overwhelmed.
I’m afraid of doing something wrong. Or losing something. Or someone. Or failing.
And I freeze.
It’s...frustrating.”
We see Bea struggle with this. We see her friend Cad help her with these overwhelming feelings. We watch as Bea learns more about herself as she goes on her quest. This is what I think makes this graphic novel a strong and welcome one for children to read.
