The Girl and the Glim
The Girl and the Glim | India Swift
8 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
An original graphic novel about being the new kid in a different school, getting picked on by the class bullies, and what happens when a magical presence takes notice. Like, can things get any worse? Starting out at a new school is tough, and Bridgette isn't having much luck, seeing as, well, she's not great at making a first impression. Or, maybe, any impression. Ugh, all these nervous feelings! Will I fit in? Will I make new friends? Will they still like me when they get to know me? Nope. For now the best she can manage is... awkward. This is not going great. That's when she sees it. Something dark and scary... something only she can see. And shes scared, of course she is. But as the only one able to see the dangers, maybe it's time for her to face that fear and unravel the mystery of the Glim and the Glums. The Girl and The Glim is about accepting the fact that fear is okay, and that while letting other people see your vulnerabilities can be scary, it can also lead to closer friendships in the end.

This graphic novel includes important themes such as facing your fears and being vulnerable. Older students who feel like they don't fit in at school might especially enjoy this book. Graphica itself is a good choice for students who lack motivation for reading as the media may get them excited to read.

Full of popping imagery and good lessons for students who may feel like they don't fit in, The Girl and the Glim is a great choice for readers who may prefer graphica over text-only novels. When Brigitte embarks on a journey at a new school, she doesn't fit in right away. After Brigitte notices something scary that only she seems to see, she must face her fears and confront the darkness head on.

This is such a delightful middle grade adventure! I love the art style (so many good page layouts) and energy of this. It'll absolutely be a favorite of many kids, especially anyone worried about fitting in. I didn't anticipate some of the turns this took. #Comic #NewKid #Aliens
