Like someone else said "I am really happy that kids will have a Graphic Novel that explains animal allergies to middle grade kids." And that's really it..... I was disappointed in the parents-- they have three children that already feel like they don't have enough time with them and they are having a fourth? I also didn't like the stereotype that girls don't like "creepy" things. It would have been cooler if she had gotten spiders and loved them!

Topik besarnya soal alergi, tapi mencakup banyak hal lain di sekitar hidup Maggie.
Berbagai tantangan dan masalah yang dihadapi Maggie si anak kelas 5 sd. Mulai dari keluarga, persaudaraan, persahabatan, dan kesehatannya.
After all, Maggie bisa menghadapi dan berdamai sama semua itu.

Lagi suka banget baca graphic novel (esp yang middle grade) krn gambarnya gemas dan ceritanya sederhana tapi banyaak dapet pelajaran menarik.

Sangat relate sama sesi suntik menyuntik krn alergi dari mingguan sampe bulanan plus segala obat2an huf

Love! So cute, great voice. Seemed a little young but good way to intro allergies in the classroom.

Thoughts

My daughter wanted me to read this because she did and loved it. She is also allergic to animals and also everything in nature. So, I can see why she loved this book so much. 

It was such a sweet book and I may have teared up once lol. It is about a 10 year old girl who is going through some life changes. Her parents are having another kid, she had to switch schools because of rezoning and had no friends, she wanted to be a Vet when she grew up but when they went to get her a puppy for her birthday she found out she is very allergic to all animals with fur. 

I think it is a great book for kids with allergies who are limited in what they can do. Or are experiencing big life changes.
