The Whole World's Crazy

Gownley, J. (2009). The Whole World's Crazy. Illus. Jimmy Gownley. New York, New York: Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing.

Annotation: This is a book about a girl named Amelia that has a hard time transitioning after her parents split up. She is in a whole new world. She has moved towns and is in a new school and tries to find enjoyment in the things around her.

Genre: Free choice (graphica novel)

Grade Level: 1st-6th

Readers who would like this: This would be a good book for a young student who is making some sort of transition in their life. This book could help them relate to their individual situation.

Ratings/Response: I give this book a 2. I think the illustrations and well displayed and the moral of the story is presented well, but I really have a hard time with a lot of the language in the book and the layout of the text.
