| Impy as a Knight. |
Hello! Today I’m
reviewing a cute middle grade graphic novel titled All's
Faire in Middle School by Victoria Jamieson. I got an ARC
of this at comic-con this year.
This graphic novel
follows the life of an eleven-year-old
girl called Imogene (Impy), who has
grown up with two parents working at the
Renaissance Faire, and she's eager to begin her own training as a squire.
First, though, she'll need to prove her bravery. Luckily Impy has just the
quest in mind--she'll go to public school after a life of being homeschooled!
But it's not easy to act like a noble knight-in-training in middle school. Impy
falls in with a group of girls who seem really nice (until they don't) and
starts to be embarrassed of her thrift shop apparel, her family's unusual
lifestyle, and their small, messy apartment. Impy has always thought of herself
as a heroic knight, but when she does something really mean in order to fit in,
she begins to wonder whether she might be more of a dragon after all.
