Babymouse: Heartbreaker



Plot Summary

BabyMouse: Heartbreaker by Jennifer L. Holm is the fifth book in the Babymouse graphic novel series. In this book young Babymouse is daydreaming about Valentine's Day and the upcoming school dance. As the school days go by no one has bother asking Babymouse to go to the dance. She comes up with a detailed plan to get a date for the dance. Despite all her attempts to get a date she ends up going to the dance by herself. To her surprise she finds someone who is interested in her at the dance.

I found this book to be very amusing and I really enjoyed all the illustrations. It's a fun book that I think would appeal to all ages. This book would be great for a read aloud and also to introduce graphic novels in a library setting.
