Description:
Gator, flushed into the sewer as a little snapper, doesn’t have any friends.
Gabby is a girl who doesn’t fit in with other kids as she’d rather talk about
the benefits of recycling than gossip so everyone calls her a “mute freak.”
However, when Gabby and Gator happen to meet they become best friends as each
accepts the other for who they are.
Opinion:
This is a graphic novel that will appeal to all readers. Gabby and Gator are
misunderstood by those around them. When Gator saves Gabby from the mean
football jock and promises not to eat her, she invites him home for some food
and they become inseparable. Through friendship they help each other overcome
their fears—Gabby finally stands up to the mean kids and Gator gets over his
fear of water. The book also features a large format and is mostly wordless.
Kids and teens will enjoy this book.
