Ivy's Review
Winging It by Michelle Mee Nutter and Megan Wagner Lloyd features Luna Juniper Wright-Evans, a twelve-year-old girl who's nature-loving mother died when she was a baby. Her dad's job relocates him to Virginia, where his wife, Juniper Wright, grew up. Luna and her dad stay with her formal grandmother she barely knows. She is sad and doesn't want to move until she visits the National Museum of Natural History, where she sees the rare luna moth she was named for. Using her mother's old nature journals, Luna, who is a "creature of the indoors," decides to see a real luna moth. Along the way, she makes friends and becomes closer with her grandmother, figuring out how to feel at home in Virginia, and how to understand the mother she never knew. This is a charming and funny graphic novel about family, friendship, adventure, and appreciating all that life has to offer.
This book got a 3.5 out of 5 because I didn't like it, but I didn't not like it. I don't really have a reason other than that for my rating, it's just one of those books that are just...eh. Not bad, not good.
If you like graphic novels about adventure, determination, and nature, you'll probably like this one. I would recommend picking it up, but because I don't have strong feelings about this book, I'm not stressing it as much.
But! This is my very first graphic novel review! It was a little disappointing, but that's how life is. And, guess what? This is my seventh review. Only 43 more left until I qualify! I will be back soon with another review. Bye!
