Critique

Dora Wang's Pocket Peaches is a fun graphic novel that is ideal for young readers, teenagers, and adults who enjoy comic strips and anime. The plot revolves around Peaches, a curious and outgoing cat who is determined to make friends with the new girl in town. Peaches, who dislikes spooky stuff and scary movies, finds her a bit of a challenge. Despite their differences, the two cats become friends as they learn to appreciate each other's unique personalities.

The novel is full of pleasant and funny scenes. Wang's artwork is both charming and expressive, and the story is guaranteed to capture young readers' imaginations.

It's remarkable how the book delves into the issues of friendship and acceptance. Peaches and Taro are two very different cats that can find common ground and become friends. This is a great message for young readers who are having difficulty establishing friendships with those who are different from them.

The book's approach to the subject of fear is cleverly presented. Taro likes spooky things, whereas Peaches is terrified of them. The author makes no attempt to convince readers that they should or should not be frightened of scary things. Instead, she shows how Peaches may overcome her fear and learn to love what makes Taro unique.

An entertaining mini graphic novel, full of cute and relatable characters, which will surely delight readers and teach them about friendship and acceptance. Highly recommended.
