Review:I loved the creativity of this story and the message it put out in such a fun way. Bobby is a comic book artist and everyone loves reading them, then he learns all about the homeless but no one at school will listen to him.
I really loved that he had a strong platform at school and wanted to use it to bring up a very important topic and to help others. It was really creative seeing how it was done.
I would have loved a chapter though on what the class did next to help, it’s a shame it wasn’t added into the story. Sometimes children want to help but don’t know how, this book could have been a great guidance to how to start, but it just needed that one more chapter.
I really loved the illustrations and I adored getting to see the entire class of children, such a creative touch within the story. It’s a really easy and great read, with creativity, friendship and an important cause showing that any age can help out.
