Family Pets



This graphic novel was about a girl Thomasina who lives with her grandmother, aunt, uncle, and cousin.  She is lonely and wants something exciting to happen.  Then it does - her family turns into pets and her pet snake becomes human.  Thomasina must figure out how to make things right with the help of an old friend Smitty, a wizard named Boris, and her parent.

I found the book interesting but the audience for it was unclear.  The characters are all teenagers but the text and illustrations made it feel younger.  I think my students will like it - quirky and a cute message.
