Babymouse Tales from the Locker: Lights, Camera, Middle School!
For Babymouse, middle school is like a monster movie. You can never be sure who’s a friend and who’s an enemy, and the halls are filled with mean-girl zombies. Instead of brains, the zombies hunger for stuff– the perfect wedge sandals or the right shade of sparkly lip gloss- and they expect everyone to want to be just like them. But Babymouse doesn’t want to fit in- she wants to stand out! So she joins the film club to write and direct a sweeping cinematic epic. Will making the film of her dreams turn into a nightmare?
Yes, I am a bad blog writer, I know. I know I am supposed to be reading Unwind, and I HAVE been, but this book was just so cute and short and good I HAD too!
Babymouse is a classic Elementary graphic novel by Jennifer L. Holm (The Fourteenth Goldfish, Turtle in Paradise, Penny From Heaven), and is so adorable. I’ve enjoyed Babymouse since I was in fifth grade, and my entire family enjoys her cute bossiness and insane adventures.
Lights, Camera, Middle School! is no different! Babymouse has moved on to middle school, which means her books have too! The books are composed of words, illustrations, and even pages of darling comics.
Babymouse faces both realistic and hilarious problems in this short book. The best thing about it is how relatable it is, as both as an amateur film creator and as a Sophomore. She’s witty, funny, and sweet. I was swept back to middle school, and laughed along with Narrator and Babymouse.
There was also a lot of small, accurate French and I love okay so listen that helped its case even more although it was already perfect.
Overall, I give it a solid…
5/5
