This fast paced graphic novel has all the ingredients for a great story but the drawings of the characters seem young for their age (10) and one jumps from one scene to another. Although I do believe the audience will get passed those obstacles and like this what is looking like a new graphic

She finally decides to go to a party with her best friend. She is still unhappy and does not want to be there or be hanging out with those girls. When she gets home, she finds out her Abuela has come to live with them to help out. The next morning, she wakes up with fairy wings and finds out fairies run in the family. On top of everything else, she is not sure she can handle any more changes.

This is a great book for early readers (gr. 2 - 4), especially girls. I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

The illustrations are great, but the story doesn't make much sense. I'm probably not the right audience, but there is so much what? going on that I didn't really get into it.
