Review

This is the 20th Babymouse adventure and perfectly time for summer Olympics year. In this volume Babymouse has to join a sports team. She decides to go out for the swim team and finds out what it means to be part of a team. Babymouse’s imagination adds quite a bit of fun to this graphic novel. It makes the whole story silly while looking at topics that middle grade students can relate to- fitting in and not letting a team down. Readers will laugh at Babymouse and what she does but will also empathize with how she feels. Great graphic novel.

Overall Book Score: very good
