Ceci wants to become a writer. In this graphic novel Ceci shows the steps she goes through to attain this goal with the help of a famous writer who lives in the same town.    

    This is a very good graphic novel for middle school readers. The colors are bright and simply blended in dramatic drawings. The drawings themselves are simple yet effectively portray the content of the story. The format of the book and the visual layout within the pages add variety and insight into Ceci’s adventure.                           McNeil, Linda       Writing
