Like, what kind of fresh hell is going on in the American education system where the amount of bullying Shannon went through in the fourth grade was completely overlooked to the point of oblivion. This book, to be honest, made me feel utterly frightened for my nine-year-old sister. Will she and Adrienne stay friends? Can she stand up for herself? And is she in The Group―or out? Now every day is like a roller coaster for Shannon. Everyone in The Group wants to be Jen’s #1, and some girls would do anything to stay on top. But one day, Adrienne starts hanging out with Jen, the most popular girl in class and the leader of a circle of friends called The Group. Shannon and Adrienne have been best friends ever since they were little. I sped through this thrilling ride in one big whirlwind. I’ve had my eye on this graphic novel memoir set in the 80s for awhile now, so I was beyond keen on getting my reading on.
