All's Faire in Middle School by Victoria Jamieson

Cover image for All's faire in middle schoolHere is another Victoria Jamieson graphic novel.  In this one a girl who has been home schooled goes to middle school for the first time.  Her family works at a medieval festival every summer, and are totally in to it.  When Imogene is faced with middle school peer pressure, she has to decide between doing what she loves with her family, and fitting in with the popular crowd at school.

Does this sound like a familiar plot line to you?  Of course.  There isn't really much that is original here.  Still, it was a decent graphic novel.  It is well drawn, and the behind the scenes workings of the Medieval Faire are kind of interesting.  Kids who liked all the similar girl realistic fiction graphic novels, like Smile, Roller Girl, or Real Friends, will like this one. (2017, 241 p.)
