Stars 5/5

Be Prepared by Vera Brosgol

I really enjoyed this graphic novel. It took me back to my childhood memories of summer camp and how it feels to find a friend and to be accepted by others. It is hard when you are young. This book follows Vera, a young girl born in Russia, that came to the United States and finds it difficult to fit in with kids at her school. All the girls go to summer camp but Vera's family is poor and she never gets to go until she finds a Russian summer camp that the church will help pay for and she is excited to go. This is when all the adventure begins. I highly recommend this graphic novel to everyone.
