Bridgette is a sweet girl, if not also quite awkward who has recently moved to a new town. Although she practices making friends and good first impression in her head the situation never plays out the way she imagines.

Of the two people who seem to notice her one is a rude boy who instantly begins to make fun of Bridgette and the other is very…elusive.

The graphic novel is a quick read, but carries the themes of anxiety, making friends and being brave especially when you are scared. A great choice for kids aged 9-12 years.

Very cute and charming read! The artwork was awesome and the imaginary of children is juts perfectly pictured in all of it!

Bridgette is the new girl who’s having a tough time fitting in. Then she meets an alien and has a REALLY tough time of fitting in. This was a very short graphic novel that was just meant to be an introduction into a series, so saying much more really ruins the whole book. But, I will say there’s adventure, action, and mystery all set up in this slim volume.

The art style was very expressive and the story telling was surprisingly physical. I felt like I was “watching” a cartoon as character action seemed to come to life across the storyboards. This graphic novel uses the medium so well and really captures the visuals of what is happening. There is actually pretty limited dialogue.

It was hard to judge this as a standalone because nothing really fully develops, but I would certainly be interested in continuing this adventure.

Bridgette is not thrilled to be the new kid in a different school, and there is this one bully who won’t leave her be. Apart from that, nothing out of the ordinary, dad’s radio does not work, something weird is going on with the network… oh, and there are magical beings that somehow only Bridgette can see!

I really liked this. I think it is important to note that it is volume one of a saga, the ending is as open as an ending could be, the are more questions than answers… but I loved it nonetheless. The artwork and the colour in general are cute and cartoony, and the facial expressions are just perfect for the tone. Even the arachnid-like creatures are kind of cute, and that comes from a person with horrendous arachnophobia. It is quite clear that this volume barely scratched the surface of what this world and its creatures can do, but I am really excited to witness Bridgette’s journey.
