A perfect example of how fluid and inspired teen graphic novels can be on new formats. Even though the classical layout does not involve any mc cloudesque feat of narration, the subject and the form are intimately linked in a moving comment on school life. The neat little navigation touches and the good writing add up for a strong experience that will appeal to its target audience, but maybe not beyond...

Sehr nett gemachtes Comic, sehr gute Umsetzung, und eine schöne Idee mit "ernstem", hilfreichen Hintergrund!

Greift die zeitlosen Teenager-Themen Freunde, Schule und... "wer bin ich eigentlich?" zeitgemäß auf. Man merkt, dass hier eine etablierte Buchreihe dahinter steckt. Sauber verpackt in eine liebevoll programmierte App mit vielen Sounds, Zoomfunktion und Breitbild/Portrait-Umschaltung - übrigens von LucasArts-Altmeister David Fox stammend.

When I originally requested to review this app I had a soon to be ten years old. But after going through the app myself, I got reminded how awkward being a teenager can be and think that all my kids will enjoy going through this reading when they come in age to understand the struggles they are facing as a young man or woman when they arrive to the ages of 11 to 14 years old. This digital graphic novel is very interactive with each image that you go through and will keep the attention of your child. At times you will hear birds chirping, laughter, frustration coming out of someone and so on. I have enjoyed going through the story and the interactivity included in this app. I almost wish that something similar to that would have existed in my years of high school – back in the 80s. This particular story contains 8 chapters which will cover the followings; , Do you like the way you look?, Sometimes I worry What Other People Think, Sometimes I just Lose It, Meet the Opinionator, Fact Finder – Getting The Truth, I Don’t Get It, I’m Stressed Out!, I Like Who I Am. Each chapter will present the feelings you can experience and give you some ideas on how to deal with it. It’s not easy growing up and it comes a time when you feel less than adequate. I sure know about it. I remember going through a though time when I was in high school. Mind you I completely realize that this product is probably written with a secular perspective. However, I think that it covers important aspects of going through the difficult years of being a teenager. At this moment in time, my oldest son does not need to go through the app but if needed be I would let him read this as well as find Christian curriculum to help him deal with this. Part of me wishes that something similar would exist with a Christian perspective. Still this graphic novel as an app is interesting and will provide some answers to questions your teenager might have. Since it is a secular product, I would suggest that you go through it with your child and discuss what you read together.

The art is wonderful and it looks great on the iPad. The story is fresh and relatable for middle schoolers. But the thing that really makes it a good deal is all the care and polish that went into making this app. The sound effects and background noises bring the frames to life, really putting you in the story. Its well worth the purchase and I cant wait for the next book to come out later this year!

This book is really exceptional. Its fun, hip and something youth will relate to. Its also packed with great stories that will guide them to feel better about themselves, think more deeply about problems and understand how to be a friend not only to others but to themselves. After two decades working in youth development programs, I only wish Id discovered this book series in print earlier. As a digital book it is well made, nicely augmented with music and hits just the right note for this age group with a graphic novel style. I review iPad picture books for younger readers at Digital-Storytime and if I were to start reviewing titles for older readers, this one would get 5 Stars!

This is the best graphic novel I have ever seen that teaches self esteem. I got it for my daughter who struggles with all the issues covered in the story. What I really like is it presents solutions that make a great deal of sense and its written in the language of "tweeners" who have to deal with the transitions from grammar to middle school. The graphics are fantastic and the sounds extraordinary.
