• 'Click' is a charming, well-crafted kids title that doesn't talk down, or even kneel, to its audiences level but gets all the way in the sandbox. A slice-of-life story, the stakes are low and the problems are emotional, but finds its drama in the very real problems kids face in their lives, rather than resorting to the metaphorical adventures that a lot of storytelling for kids seems to rely on. Author Miller doesn't see any reason to NEED to exaggerate the problems kids face because to kids they are as real and as meaningful as they feel and above all this book's writing excels at this point. Beyond the script, the art is perfectly balanced for the smaller scale of book, with easy-reading pastel colors and clearly defined linework, with notable moments of visual detail baked into the pages that adds a real artistic texture to the book, like a panel purely inserted to show the stars on Olive's wall are glow-in-the-dark decals. I may be a couple of decades (and children) shy of being able to honestly say what a kid would think of this book, but as a fan of the medium regardless of target demographic, 'Click' is a confident, gentle, and worthwhile title that takes kids seriously without feeling overly serious.
• I purchased a copy of this book for my cousins (ages 8 & 10) and they both loved it! They tell me they are both anxiously anticipating the next book in the series, “Camp”.
  
  As a longtime fan of Kayla Miller's independent comics, it was exciting to see their unique perspective applied to content for young audiences. It was refreshing to read a story about a character like Olive who doesn’t "fit in" but isn't explicitly ostracized as a social pariah—Olive HAS friends, she just doesn't have "best" friends. Even though the story centers on a character who feels like she doesn't know where she belongs, this feeling is universal. Everyone has felt like this at some point in their life, ESPECIALLY in middle school.
  
  I love the pacing of this book, particularly the way moments are allowed to breathe. Some of my favorite parts of the book are scenes with minimal dialog where the story is carried forward based on the characters' expressions and the setting. Each environment is illustrated with personality and attention to detail, helping readers become invested in Olive's world and problems. The dynamics between Olive's classmates and the complicated relationship between Olive's pragmatic mother and the more "oddball" Aunt Molly, leave me wanting to know more about these characters. Which is good, because more is on the way!
  
  I highly recommend you share "Click" with the young readers in your life.
• Do you like comic books / graphic novels? Original, relatable characters? Story lines that are both entertaining, and meaningful? Buy this book. Olive, her family, and her friends are from all across the spectrum of life - this book is a great reminder about how sometimes we all feel like we don't have a place - until we finally discover it with the help of family and friends. The original artwork (and self-created font!) is amazing, and a great addition to any library. Can't wait until her next book releases!
• I bought this to help my 10yr old goddaughter develop a love a reading! I picked the perfect book. She loved and wants more. Her enthusiasm for reading has changed dramatically. Great read!
• This is a wonderful book with an invaluable lesson for today's children. One of my favorite new tools for a parent or grandparent, hoping to offer positive and retainable development assistance to a elementary school level child.
• Great story so far. But pages 65-80 are missing, with pages 49-64 repeating instead. Hope I can exchange for a correctly printed copy so my daughter can keep enjoying the story!
• This book is amazing, has a great story and the drawings are phenomenal however a little short for me since i finished it in 45 minutes. Maybe not something u would want if ur looking for something long to read, but its just my opinion maybe im just a fast reader. Anyway awesome book!
• My daughter wanted this book so bad from her school book fair. Found it for a better price on . Ordered it and it came 2 days later. She was so excited.
