★★★★★ 5
Fun and fresh
Format: Hardcover
Diary of a Nature Nerd is an exciting graphic novel for emerging and younger middle-grade readers.
With a mix of illustrated diary entries and more traditional graphic novel panels, Diary of a Nature Nerd is an inviting and accessible read that will especially appeal to kids who love nature.
Author-illustrator Tiffany Everett captures the excitement — and apprehension — that comes with blending a family, even when your BFF becomes your stepsister. There are some big emotions, and Everett explores them in a way that helps kids feel seen.
The star of Diary of a Nature Nerd is, of course, nature, with lots of animals and exploring and nods to trail safety, too. Everett’s illustrations are bright, expressive and feature cute animals with almost every turn of the page.
Diary of a Nature Nerd is Everett’s graphic novel debut, but it has a fresh, rooted feel that’s just plain fun. I hope this is just the first book about Brooke and Jayla.
