BUYING ADVISORY: MS, HS - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Noah is a Senior this year, and his parents are anxious that he get his applications in for college. Ideally, they would love for him to go to UCLA, but that's not what Noah wants. Noah wants to sew, he'd love to attend Stonewell, an arts college. But his parents don't approve. Azarie is the Mayor's daughter - she's perfect in every way - - model daughter, head cheerleader, contending for Valedictorian, lots of "only the best" friends - but that's not who she really is. She loves cosplay, and is friends with Noah - but her parents don't approve.
Engaging story - I loved the "Trending Hashtags" previewing each chapter. Iruov's illustrations were great - it felt animated, rather than just drawn - the angry faces were my favorite. Yes, there's lots of friend drama, but I feel Needle and Thread would appeal more to the Middle School crowd than the high schoolers. Will certainly purchase.
