This book is about a boy, August, who has facial abnormality. Because of his insecurities, he never really went to school and didn't have much friends. But one day, his parents decided to finally send August to try to go to school. At first, of course, everybody in his class looks at him with the "Did you just kill someone" face. But gradually, August makes a good friend, Jack. August and Jack becomes really good friends, however, Jack betrays August, because he don't want to lose his old friends, who bully August. This leads to lots more problems between August and Jack, and even the school. This story is tragic, funny, and moving all at the same time. I think every middle schooler should read this book at least once, because it really teaches you and gives you a lesson about treating others how you are supposed to be.

This is one of my favorite graphic novel from the author, Raina Telgemeier. This book is about a girl, Callie, who is really interested in acting and performing on stage. However, she encounters a problem - she is a horrible singer. So even though she tried for an audition for the middle-school drama club, she ended up being the set designer. Later on in the story, many problems starts to appear, because the set crew is not working well together, and this drives Callie crazy. How can she solve the "drama" happening around her? I would recommend this book to people who like graphic novels with great, colorful pictures, and dramatic plot. I really enjoyed reading this book, because it talks about problems of middle schoolers that I can also relate to.

After hearing about that, Massie starts to exclude her from "The Pretty Committee" and lets the unpopular girl, Claire, into the committee.
