Awkward

The second book that I read this summer was Awkward, a realistic fiction graphic novel written and illustrated by Svetlana Chmakova. This book is set in a school called Berrybrook Middle. It's about a fight between two different clubs: the Art Club and the Science Club. The main character is a girl called Penelope Torres. Penelope, or Peppi, is new, and she doesn't really understand what they're fighting about. But Peppi has a Science Club friend called Jaime, and so she's kind of stuck in the middle. I liked this book because I can really relate to the problem; I was in the middle of a huge fight between two groups last year, but they all worked it out in the end, just like in the book.
I would love to recommend this graphic novel to anyone who wants a realistic adventure of a girl who is just trying to keep calm. I give it five stars.
