This book was lighthearted and a great lower grade read! Graphic novels are either a very beginner level or middle grade/YA. This novel comes in clutch for those lower elementary grades of kids craving independence without knowing the risks. I think it will be a popular read!
Gabby is nine and already a "go-getter." She is the youngest (and sometimes kind of annoying member of the Sea Musketeers, a group of kids whose mission is to protect the oceans. Gabby, trying to get involved, offers to start a social media site to promote the club and recruit volunteers. The only problem is, Gabby is not allowed to have social media and has very limited technology time. Of course, she ends up disobeying her parents and runs into some common social media issues.
Good graphic novel offering that focuses on the bad parts of social media and the dangers of children using it without being preachy. The author was able to address this issue in a realistic, natural way, but still get the message across that social media really isn't for young children and that everyone can fall prey to the dangers of the virtual world. This is a great addition for an elementary library graphic novel collection.
