Gamerville Reviews

The characters are so loveable and it was a treat to watch them learn and grow. I wish I could spend the summer at Camp Reset! Kayla Miller, bestselling author of the Click series Christmas (Swim Team) explores common middle school issues such as bullying, friendship fallout, and expanding ones perspective in this ambitious, fast-paced graphic novel. Video game aesthetics paired with brightly colored illustrations craft two distinct and complementary settings: one teeming with digital adventure and the other filled with wilderness whimsy. Publishers Weekly (starred review) Christmas tackles interesting, relevant, and unusual themes and presents thoughtful, emotional outcomes. Booklist This vibrant, colorful graphic novel shows that change engenders growth and improvement, and that strategies and skills are transferable between very different settings.Christmas work commendably demonstrates respect for both video game culture and unplugged living, showing the positives and negatives of each while offering valuable representations of Black kids enjoying nature and gaming. Kirkus Reviews The success and relatability of Christmass Swim Team will draw middle grade readers to this charming graphic novel of video games, camp, making friends, and finding balance.
