Great for kids!

This is certainly for younger readers as everything is spelled out, but there is some heart here that makes it stand out. I think the story had a great message: When you're acting ugly towards others, you are the true ugly one, and don't judge people from appearance alone. You never know what someone's going through or who may become a great friend one day.

This graphic novel is a story about a girl who is trying to figure out her life and why certain things are happening to her. Cici finds out she has magical fairy powers and is learning how to use them to her benefits. This book can be used in a classroom because middle grade students are finding out who they want to be and how to handle life in a positive way. ( )

This is a cute graphic novel about Cici, a young girl who also happens to be a fairy. One fairy power that she has is that she sees people differently. She sees them the way she feels about them, her mother is an octopus and sometimes a witch, her father is a bear, the popular girls at school are chickens and so on. When she uses her powers and destroys the doll belonging to a girl at school who she thinks is a princess, as well as making her ugly, her Abuela explains to her about making good choices and not being mean or evil. Cici learns from her mistake and makes a new friend in the process. The graphics are fun, colourful and easy to see detail, perfect for younger readers.

This is a great book for early readers (gr. 2 - 4), especially girls. ( )
