Allergic (Graphic Novel)

My oldest loves grafic novels and this was right up her ally. We have a hard time getting her excited to read and this book she read in a day. Highly recommend if your struggling to get your children excited about reading. We now own several.

This is a review one of my students wrote for the book:It is Maggie’s birthday, and she wants a dog most of all. She can’t exactly get one though, because she is allergic to anything with fur or feathers. In fact, a big part of the book is her going to the doctor and getting shots. She has two little brothers, and they are about to become big brothers. She is upset because her brothers Noah and Liam have each other, her mom and dad have each other and are also about to have the baby, but she doesn't have anyone. Maggie makes a new friend named Claire. Later on, Claire gets a dog without realizing Maggie’s shots don’t fix everything.Therefore, I love this book called Allergic! It is sweet and sort of funny. One thing you should know is that it is a graphic novel. My favorite people in the book are the twins Noah and Liam; they are very funny. One thing I remember is that the parents were talking about the baby and Noah and Liam said,” When is it gonna be born it is taking forever!” There were still about three more months!Lastly, I think this book should be for someone with allergies, or in third through fifth grade. I highly recommend this book.

I love allergic! It is an amazing book and I think it’s perfect for people with or without allergies!

Great

I don’t know who liked this book more - me or my two daughters (ages 7 and 9). It was difficult to put it down and go to bed. The illustrations were beautiful and the storyline kept us wanting to continue reading. Heartwarming and very relatable for anyone, who has experienced life with allergies. Loved it!
