Welcome to Litsy!

This was a cute story of a girl moving to Chicago to be close to doctors to help her with her MS.
In the author's notes, I was reading how Nicholas was supposed to have polio.I must have missed something as I didn't pick this up reading, but some of the scenes make more sense now knowing this. Will middle schoolers pick up on this? I think not, they probably won't know what polio is.

Harriet is an imaginative 13 year old living with a chronic illness. She had few friends before her family moved closer to medical professionals specializing in MS, and hasn't had a chance to make new ones yet. Fortunately, the retired librarian downstairs is determined to connect with her through books and writing. This comic tells a beautiful story of connecting with others through lived experiences. #Comic #ChronicIllness #Multiplesclerosis

Harriet has all the normal preteen friend and family problems as well as an active imagination and a relapse of her MS after a move to a new city in this graphic novel available on #Hoopla.
The author did an excellent job portraying the challenges and emotions of the disability while also allowing the MC to be a kid with all the regular stuff that comes with that.

I‘m not a graphic novel fan but apparently got this for partner who is. She didn‘t like it so I read it as I usually like things she doesn‘t . However this book is just ok. Trying to think who I can give it to. Not sure the young people I know would want to read it. Turns out Harriet has MS , has moved I‘m guessing to be near specialists though this is not said. I found the authors note the most interesting part .

This is a very sweet middle grade graphic novel about a girl with MS forced to live life through her big imagination when she really wants to just be a regular teen.
The author tries to do a few things she doesn‘t quite accomplish here, but all in all I really enjoyed this. The artwork is spot on, and the message is so positive.
