A great story with a current theme written in a light and fun way. I loved it!

A series of rumors begin to circulate through the High school through a blog, which will stir from teachers to students. Monica and her friends will need to trust each other if they want to find out who is behind such bad gossip.

Ideal manga for the kids to think about cyberbully and for the older ones to think about the power of the word. With well-made graphics and accessible language it is ideal fun for the holidays

Monica Adventures #3 was a pretty good graphic novel. The story it told was relatable and had a good message at its core. Somebody was revealing embarrassing secrets about people at school online. Each one seemed worse than the one before it. Once it started to affect Monica’s friendships she knew she had to find out who was behind it fast. If you enjoyed the last Monica Adventures comic then you will want to check this one out.

Please tell me I wasn't the only one that got this vibe from this graphic novel? It may not have been as scandalous as Gossip Girl, but it definitely was the same premise. People spreading rumors about one another with photos taken way out of context, only for everyone around school to be affected. In this case though, even teachers were the brunt of these jokes, not just a select few students.

In this world, Gossip Girl is replaced with Troll Castle, and the embarrassing photos and stories just keep coming. I think that this was a tame way to deal with cyber bullying in a constructive way, but also making it fun and enjoyable for teenagers or even young adults like me to get through.

I also really liked the artwork in this one. While the eGalley I received was in black and white, I could imagine some of the nice colors that this would have once printed for the masses. I also like the plan to find the culprit, and thinking it was an inside person also gave me Gossip Girl vibes (Dan Humphrey, anyone?)

I liked this one a lot. It was a cute read, and it makes me wonder how the first two editions were of Monica's Adventures. I don't really see her as a main character per se, but she is a cutie. I don't mind it being a little bit about her and her friends.
