Critics Review
★ “Making Friends is the Scott Pilgrim for the tweenage set, perfect for any younger readers’ graphic novel collection.” – School Library Journal, starred review
“Gudsnuk’s powers of imagination will make her plenty of friends.” – Publishers Weekly
“This charming graphic novel features full-color, manga-inspired illustrations and a breezy plot that blends wish fulfillment and fantasy with an approachable and contemporary storyline. With a broad brush, Gudsnuk hits many of the angst-y issues of middle school, including popularity, bullying, family relationships, body image, and fandom, creating appeal for a large swath of readers… A nifty pastiche of middle school matters.” – Kirkus Reviews
“Middle-schoolers, meanwhile, will appreciate Gudsnuk’s light touch in bringing an empathetic, joyful, and judicious treatment to those tough in-between years.” – Booklist
Praise for Making Friends: Back to the Drawing Board:
“Gudsnuk’s bubbly, playful artwork, in a warm palette dominated by pink and purple and dense with detail and expressive, goggle-eyed faces, is a pleasure to look at.” – Booklist
