so fun
At home, Maggie is the odd one out. Her parents are preoccupied with getting ready for a new baby, and her younger brothers are twins and always in their own world. Maggie loves animals and thinks a new puppy to call her own is the answer, but when she goes to select one on her birthday, she breaks out in hives and rashes. She's severely allergic to anything with fur! Can Maggie outsmart her allergies and find the perfect pet? With illustrations by Michelle Mee Nutter, Megan Wagner Lloyd uses inspiration from her own experiences with allergies to tell a heartfelt story of family, friendship, and finding a place to belong. Magic has been feeling like the odd one out at home for a while. Her parents are busy getting ready for the new baby. Her younger brothers are twins and always in their own world. Not to mention speaking their own language. Maggie hasn't had anything just for her for a while. Which is why getting a puppy for her tenth birthday is the best gift ever. But there's one problem: Maggie breaks out in hives the minute she tries to choose her new dog. Turns out Maggie is allergie to anything with fur. With her pet options severely limited Maggie will have to get creative if she wants to find the perfect pet in Allergic (2021) by Megan Wagner Lloyd, illustrated Michelle Mee Nutter. Allergic is a really fun, full color graphic novel. Maggie's father is depicted as white while her mother is darker skinned. This story packs a lot into a slim volume. It's sure to appeal to fans of contemporary graphic novels. Maggie struggles to come to terms with her allergies--and the numerous shot treatments she needs for them--while letting go of her idea of the perfect pet. At the same time, Maggie makes new friends with a boy at school who has food allergies helping her put her own situation in perspective as something that just happens sometimes. She also befriends new neighbor Claire who is a grad ahead at school and tries to support Maggie on her pet search. While the girls have some growing pains with jealousy and related arguments, their friendship is back on solid ground by the end of the story. Allergic is a relatable, funny story perfect for readers who enjoy slice-of-life comics and animals--with or without fur.
