A coming-of-age middle-grade graphic novel featuring
a girl with severe allergies who just wants to find the perfect pet!
At home, Maggie is the odd one out.
Her parents are preoccupied with the new baby they're expecting,
and her younger brothers are twins and always in their own world.
Maggie thinks a new puppy is the answer, but
when she goes to select one on her birthday, she breaks out in hives
and rashes. She's severely allergic to anything with
fur!
Can Maggie outsmart her allergies and find the perfect
pet?
With full colour illustrations throughout by Michelle Mee Nutter
Megan Wagner Lloyd draws on her own experiences with allergies
to tell a heartwarming story of family, friendship, and finding
a place to belong
Perfect for fans of Raina Telgemeier, The Baby-Sitters Club and
Nat Enough.
I loved this. I think it's a great chance for kids to learn about things like allergy testing. As a kid who went through a similar situation with allergies, it was also nice to see some representation.
