This book is so adorable and sweet. I love the “Velmatic system”, it’s something I’ve used everyday without realizing it. You are guided through everyday problems that happen at work, in relationships, and when solving mysteries with your three best friends and talking dog, (well, maybe not that last part, but you get the idea) and shows you not just what Velma would do, but why. It references other Velmas in some of my other favorite shows like Jessica Fletcher in Murder, She Wrote and Batgirl from Batman. Although it seems silly to some, being “a Velma”, is something I’ve grown to love about myself and this book highlights the reasons why perfectly. Velma is driven by her pursuit of knowledge, using everything that comes her way as an opportunity to learn. She isn’t intimidated by how much information there is, she is empowered by it. She isn’t just all brains either, the only thing more important to her than learning, is her relationships with her friends. She uses her intelligence to help those in need, whether it’s unmasking monsters or supporting her friends.
