“You can‘t keep pretending to be someone you‘re not, no matter how much you want to protect yourself.”
In the classroom, this graphic novel can spark discussions about identity, acceptance, and family expectations in a way that feels safe and engaging. The humor and colorful illustrations keep students interested while still giving teachers opportunities to guide conversations about deeper themes.

The Princess and the Grilled Cheese Sandwich is a mix of humor, romance, and grilled cheese sandwiches with deeper themes like gender roles, family expectations, and identity. The bright illustrations and witty dialogue make these mature ideas accessible to younger readers.
Instead of just following the plot, children can analyze how the art communicates meaning, like shifting colors that show secrecy or close-up panels that show emotion.

Scalzi seems to love to throw his characters into unique and unexpected circumstances and then venture even further into thought experiment territory from there!
While this one is absolutely still infused with his trademark humor, it also takes on a somewhat more introspective tone that I enjoyed, as well.
Overall, anther hit from an author who has become a personal favorite!

While Mrs B has gone out to get her remaining steps in for the day (1400 - 700 out, 700 back, not a step more! 👣😄), I'm staying in with a book, wild garlic Cornish Yarg cheese & a splash of wine 📖🧀🍷
We spent some time today at the Pili Palas, a small nature park with a heated room, where the free-flying tropical butterflies are magical. I had a hand-sized brilliant blue butterfly settle for a few seconds on my nose, which was amazing! 💖🦋💖

What happens when the moon turns to cheese. What do scientists do? What does the clergy do? What do the bankers do? And how does everything change when the end of the world is predicted in two years? Quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. Funny and quick paced.
