Reggie is house-sitting and plans to spend the entire summer alone, reflecting on how his latest adventure was a failure. But then he meets his neighbor Emily. Emily is everything Reggie is not – energetic, adventurous, and talkative! This unlikely friendship is all about gentle encouragement and finding joy in yourself and your community. This was an adorable 3 star read for me that I know young fans of graphic novels will love.
