Lucy in the Sky

Twelve-year-old Lucy Sutcliffe is having a hard time. At school, she feels like her friends are all leaving her out. Worst of all, how can her family depend on Lucy’s upbeat, fun-loving grandmother when she’s sick and not getting better? Everything seems down, but when Lucy discovers a box of her father’s Beatles records, she sees an opportunity and forms an all-girl rock band with her friends. Can she keep the band and everything else together when arguments, crushes, and dilemmas start to break it up?

This is a story about friendship drama, family, and music––perfect for people who like comics or graphic novels about rock music. Though I am not a big fan of the illustrations and colors, the story is amazing and full of detail. I like how different all the characters are, and how this book got me to know the Beatles. The only problem is, the panels and words are small and slightly hard to read. Overall, it’s a good book. Recommended for young fans who love the Beatles or any other rock band.
