This was a really cute graphic novel that dealt with some big topics in a way that kids can understand. But it didn't feel dumbed down like some books about heavy topics for kids can.

What I love about the Geeky F@b 5 Food Fight for Fiona is that it tells stories of five girls doing STEM activities and activities that help their community. This is more of a book for a beginning comic reader, as the storylines are simple to follow and understand. When two new students arrive at school, the girls notice that they always seem to be hungry. After learning more about the two students, the geeky F@b 5 lead a food drive to stock their local food bank. Food Fight for Fiona introduces to students to the idea that some families have a lack of food and how it affects fellow students. I also liked the encouragement of readers to find more about their local food banks. Although I think previous Geeky F@b 5 books are a bit more relaxed, it is important themes like this are explored in elementary grades.

Having read the first three GN in this series, I felt a bit underwhelmed by number four. While I appreciate a comic that, similar to the Babysitter's Club, shows a group of friends trying to be helpful in their own community I felt going from helping an Animal shelter to tackling Childhood Hunger a very big leap. Now, I was thrilled to see a children's novel tackle the subject and a hard one at that, but it felt forced and a bit stilted compared to the previous novels. The artwork was cute and fun as it has been since the beginning. I do believe this novel will be important to the reading community, but it wasn't my cup of tea.

As a whole, I love the Geeky Fab 5 series. This was probably one of the more heartfelt in the series thus far, though it also felt a little ham-handed in the way it approached the topic of food insecurity. I still absolutely suggest this volume and hope it helps kids understand the reality of some of their classmates, but I'm also a little afraid it will put them off the topic altogether.

This is a sweet addition to the Geeky Fab 5 series, but I can’t help but feel like it’s not as strong as the previous books in the series. Still, we have endearing characters, a really great message (a food drive! Generosity! Messages about insecurity!), and of course the beautiful illustrations. Hopefully the Geekt Fab 5 will be back with a stronger story with more action and a better takeaway next time, but for fans of the series this will probably fit the bill.

Thank you to the publisher for giving me a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

I CAN'T STOP LOOKING AT THE APRONS THEY WEAR!

It bothered me so much. The artstyle is great and stuff. but then when there is text on the apron that literally looked like it was copy pasted from word and doesn't blend in with the rest of the art I can't help but be bothered by it. It looks sloppy and unprofessional. My art studies brain can't handle this.

The story aspect of this comic. Was alright. I think it was a bit mediocre because it lacked some action in my opinion. It drags quite a bit in the middle and then the end is underwhelming. It was still quite an enjoyable story though so that's good.

I am coming to love graphic novels and the inventive ways of reading a story. This is volume 4 and the first I have read of this series but I will be searching for the first titles to catch up.
A group of girls work together and have a brilliant friendship within their class. They welcome a new girl into their group just as the school are collecting items for the local food bank. The girls learn that plenty of children in their community are in need of support from the food bank. This is a lovely book highlighting this issue that can be seen in many of our schools.
Working together, the girls and the school decide to host a huge food fair for the community and it is a brilliant success.
This is an excellent booK for children wanting a full story with amazing illustrations, and I love that is highlights an important issue sensitively !

Hmmm… A bit of a step back in quality for this series, in my mind. It becomes a straight advert for food donations, when the food bank drive at the school leads to a trip to a farm where the kids actually see how vegetables are grown and what makes the milk, eggs, bacon and other stuff we eat. Meanwhile, a new girl in town's tummy is rumbling, because she and her brother and unemployed dad are stuck relying on handouts – but lo and behold, she is of course the primmest, whitest, blondest, almost WASP-ish charity case imaginable. So the ultra-diverse group of heroines get on the case, as you'd expect, bringing all their joie de vivre and can-do attitude to the pages as usual. As opposed to the prior adventures (a lost play area, butterfly loss, and a damaged pet shelter), this does seem too worthy to be really entertaining, and too politically charged for the STEM-supporting origins of the series to actually survive on the page this time. I've enjoyed supporting this series up to now, but might have to consider if the promised road trip of the fifth volume has an ulterior agenda before clicking for that there reviewers' download.
