CHIGGERS is a very enjoyable, quick read.
Abby can't wait to go back to summer camp to hang out with her older friend, Rose. But this year Rose comes back to
camp as a cabin assistant and doesn't seem to have any time for Abby. Then Shasta arrives. She is very different and
Abby thinks she is kind of cool. Then comes the problem -- none of the other girls like her. They think she is weird and
fake.
Abby then needs to decide how to balance her two groups of friends, maybe a new boyfriend, and how to feel okay
when Rose seems to not be with her.
Growing up is hard to do! I enjoyed this book very much and it was fun to read a graphic novel. I believe that many
kids and young adults will like to read this type of medium. I would like to read more. My only complaint is that
sometimes I mixed up the characters, but that may be because I'm not a picture reader -- but if I read more I may get
better at it! Thank you, Hope Larson!
