My name is Grace, not “Kyle’s little sister!”
Having a good-looking, friendly, outgoing older brother sucks—especially when you’re the total opposite, someone who likes staying home and playing video games. Your parents like him better (even if they deny it!), and everyone calls you “Kyle’s little sister” while looking disappointed that you’re not more like him. I was really hoping I’d get to go to a different middle school, but no such luck. At least I have my friends…until he finds a way to ruin that, too…! Argh! What do I have to do to get out of his shadow?!
Thanks to RockStar Book Tours for allowing me to be a part of this tour. Also thank you to Yen Publishing for sending me an egalley of Kyle’s Little Sister to read and review for my tour stop today.
I first have to start off by saying that this is a must-pick-up and read for anyone who likes graphic novels or if you’re looking to give a book about friendships, siblings, and how to deal with someone only wanting to be your friend because of a sibling. I am sure we all have been in that situation where someone befriends you only to end up using you for their own personal gain.
This was a super quick read with great illustrations. They suited the storyline perfectly.
Our main character is Grace and she basically lives in the shadow of her older brother. In Grace’s eyes, her brother Kyle can do no wrong. He is the favorite child. Kyle is a popular kid and involved in sports.
Grace is starting 6th grade and is going to her brother’s school who is in the 8th grade. Grace has two best friends Amy and Jay. Amy is the bossy friend who thinks she is doing the right thing and never realizes that not everyone is ready to step out of their comfort zone. We see that with her interactions with Jay. Jay has this crush on Kyle and she is not ready for him to know about it but Amy has other plans. She wants Jay to tell him. This soon becomes a problem with Amy pushes too hard and the girls have a falling out.
That was something that I could totally relate to, although my case was a let a friend push me outside my comfort zone. To this very day, I wish I could go back in time and redo it all over again. Trust me I would do it all differently.
Anyways back to the review. Since the following out Grace has been hanging out by herself until a group of popular girls take her under the wing. This thrills Grace but she soon realizes that they aren’t all they say to be especially when it comes to Cam, who is the leader of the group. They make her feel welcome and are quick to dump her when she won’t do what she is asked. This is very relatable to kids everywhere. What will Grace do when she realizes the truth?
This is BonHyung Jeong’s debut graphic novel and I am excited to read her future works.
