So while I don’t recommend necessarily checking out the audio version-your reading will be incomplete-do check out the print version. If it’s for struggling readers, I see a purpose, but then it really should be packaged as a read-along title. If it’s for the visually impaired… well… they are still missing out on the images (the narration doesn’t stop to describe the image) and I’m not sure that the format translates. I’m not sure what the purpose of creating an audio version of a comic book is. And while I didn’t realize it at first, when I backtracked there was so much missing from the reading without all the visual clues. I was very surprised when I picked up the hardback copy to find that the Katie snippets, which seemed so brief, were actually comic strips. I could actually hear where I was missing a cartoon or doodle, and I felt like I was missing something as I listened to the story. I received the audio version first, so I went with it-and that’s when I realized that this was a hybrid prose/comic story. Middle-grade readers will find aspects of both Emmie and Katie to be very relatable. The story all takes place in one day, with flashbacks to help build characterization.

One twist (I won’t spoil!) does take the story’s theme to a different level. In addition, some twists in the plot will surprise readers and leave them with a satisfying taste in their mouth. While the plot of this story isn’t earth-shatteringly original, the likable and strong characters of Emmie and Katie, bring the book above the rest.
