Berrybrook Middle School
series by Svetlana Chmakova
series by Svetlana Chmakova
Each book follows a different
student of Berrybrook Middleschool who readers will see in the other books.
Books do not have to be read in order and can be read as stand-alone novels.
All three graphic novels contain fun and beautiful illustrations that really do
help make the story.
On the first day at a new school,
Penelope pushes away school nerd Jamie who was just trying to help her. Now
every time she sees him things are a little awkward as she still hasn’t
apologized despite wanting to. When the school Art Club, which Penelope is a
part of, and the Science Club, which Jamie is in, find themselves in a war
things get even more awkward.
Anybody who has ever done anything
stupid that they want to, but too embarrassed to, apologize for will find
themselves relating to Penelope. She is a very realistic character dealing with
social anxiety.
In his daydreams, Jenson is an
amazing hero. In real life he is the target of bullying, including by those he
thinks are his friends. When his trouble in math class leads to him having to
work with a tutor and the school newspaper wanting to interview him for a
story, Jenson’s outlook on life begins to change.
An intriguing look at what it is to
be bullied. Jenson is unaware of ways he is bullied and some of the readers may
find themselves not seeing ways in which he was either.
It seems that everyone in Berrybrook
Middleschool is pairing off, or at least has somebody that they want to pair
off with. Jorge doesn’t understand it until he meets a girl who he develops his
own crush on. If only he could form a proper sentence around her and she didn’t
already have a boyfriend.
A sweet story about first crushes
and the romances that take place in middle school. Jorge is a likable character
whom readers first meet in Brave, and his fans will enjoy his own story.
