Description
Kira is destined for something great, and seventh grade is supposed to be her best year. She wants people to notice her and pay attention to her. At least, that is what Kira is hoping for. But Tulip, her archnemesis, beats her to the punch and was chosen to be a magical girl. Kira is furious, but she is determined to be special. Everything changes when Catacorn, a half-cat and half-unicorn, comes crashing down on Kira’s life.
I read a lot of middle grade and YA graphic novels even though I am not the intended audience, and I love almost all of them. For some reason, I just could not get into this one. I found the main character to be so unlikeable and bratty, especially in the beginning of the story. I think the story and characters are supposed to be funny, but I was confused by the story.
The story concept reminded me of a Japanese manga, Tonde Boorin, but that one was funny. However, I do like the illustrations, and I like how sparkly and fun the drawings are. I think this story should be geared toward four to seven year olds or people who like sparkly stories.
