Chloe #6" by Greg Tessier is a delightful graphic novel that continues the charming and relatable adventures of its titular character. Tessier skillfully weaves a narrative that explores friendship, identity, and the everyday challenges faced by teenagers. With engaging storytelling and vibrant illustrations, Chloe's journey unfolds with humor and heart, making this installment a captivating addition to the series. Fans of the previous volumes will appreciate the continuation of Chloe's growth, while new readers will find themselves drawn into a world filled with endearing characters and meaningful lessons.
An interesting comic about a girl who suddenly has to help with the environment at her school. It started bad for her, since she didn't really care about planting, but then become such a fun experience. This can help younger generations appreciate nature and food in general. The comic also contains other stories.
This was a really cure graphic novel that compares real interest in bettering the environment to "fake" interest for the sake of online image and clout, Chloe and her friends Mark, and Fatou all are really excited about joining the Green Club and it has nothing to do with the film crew that will be documenting everything that they do. They have all these wonderful ideas and are working super hard to come up with ideas that will work for them and the space that they are working with, when long-time rival and bully Anissa comes barging in wanted to shine under the light trying to uproot all the handwork that the friends have been doing, will it all work out or will all their hard work be washed out by the desire for fame?
Note: there are these little intersectional pages that are like green thumb pages and I really thought that they were cute and interesting but the font and the color of the font that was used was really jarring. I would recommend some more playing around to find a more palatable color and font style.
Story: 4/5

Thank you to Netgalley, Greg Tessier and Papercutz for sending me a digital ARC in exchange for a honest review.
This is my first book from the series, but I feel that it can be read as a standalone. Unfortunately, it was very boring and lacking in more than one way.
I couldn't resist requesting to read this graphic novel based on the wonderful cover, but sadly the artwork inside was nothing like it. Not sure if it's because my copy was a digital arc but the illustrations appeared washed out and low-res, which made for a less pleasant read.
The story suddenly pivoted from environmentalism to cyberbullying, which was quite jarring. I was just getting invested in Chloe's eco-warrior efforts but the storyline seemed to just end abruptly. I also have no idea why Chloe's mum keeps calling her both Chloe and Misty.
Some important themes like social media usage and coping with bullies are highlighted here, but not in a way that engaged me. Younger audiences might like this book better since it's more educational than enjoyable, but personally I didn't care for it.
Loved the graphics in this book and the fact that it touches on Internet safety and what social media is and some definitions of different terms
A huge thanks to Papercutz for my complimentary copy and all opinions expressed are entirely my own.
The graphic novels tells the story of Chloe and is divided into two separate stories. This is book 6 in a series and can ideally be read as a standalone. The first story tells the story of Chloe being grudgingly paired with a mean girl for a gardening project .In the story Chloe and her friends lean more about gardening and it's benefits while the second story centers around the part social media plays. I enjoyed them and every child needs to read this.
This is a good read for young readers There are two separate stories contained within this volume. In the first, Chloe and her friends learn the benefits of gardening and being ecologically sound. The graphics are good, and so is the story line. It is educational and realistic in that there is a group of 'mean girls' who insert themselves into everything. I like that directions are included for creating an insect hotel as well as compost, and there is some great information provided regarding recycling. In the second section, social media and its effects on kids and adults is covered. Great read with good lessons. Thank you to NetGalley, the author and publisher for the opportunity to review this book.
I enjoyed reading this graphic novel.
It's all about the school life, about the friends we made, cyberbully, school project. Everything is very cute and the illustrations are great.
I have a thought about Chloe in love with Tim part. Is this possible that instead of Chose and Tim kissing scene to change into just hugging or holding hands? Since in this way, I could suggest this book to younger audiences, such as Grade 4 or 5.
