Frazzled #2
by Vivat, Booki
Abbie Wu is back, and if you thought middle school was stressful before, she has plenty more disasters waiting in the wings. This book follows Abbie as she tries to balance her identity, her frantic social calendar, and the general feeling that everyone else has their life together while she is barely holding it all in. The reading experience is fast-paced and chaotic in the best way possible, leaning heavily into the humor of overthinking every single interaction. The mix of sharp, witty text and expressive, doodle-style illustrations makes the book feel like you are reading a friend's secret diary. It is perfect for readers who appreciate a protagonist who is messy, relatable, and unapologetically human, and who find comfort in laughing at the absurdity of the pre-teen experience.
