Friends with Boys
by Faith Erin Hicks
Maggie McKay has been homeschooled her entire life by her
mother, but now that her mother left, Maggie must go to public high
school. Her three older brothers, whom
are her only friends, already attend the public high school, but are too busy
with their own lives to help their baby sister fit in. Not only does Maggie have to deal with
starting a new school that is unlike anything she has ever known, she also has
a ghost haunting her. Maggie wishes the
ghost would go away, and seeks to help figure out its unfinished business. While Maggie is a well-drawn character, who
is also easy to relate to, the story packs a lot of small plots that ultimately
don’t get resolved. Given this
shortcoming, I still found the graphic novel very enjoyable. Perhaps there will be a sequel?
-Recommended for Grades 6 and up
