Pizza Face: A Graphic Novel
Pizza Face: A Graphic Novel | Rex Ogle
4 posts | 3 read | 2 to read
A funny, feel-good middle-grade graphic memoir about breaking out, battling puberty, and braving complicated friendships. It's time to face facts! On the first day of seventh grade, Rex encounters a bump in the road -- a big angry pimple right in the center of his forehead. And this is only the beginning of his problems. What follows is a frustrating battle with stubborn acne, body odor, and other embarrassments of puberty. Still struggling with a home life edging on the poverty line, Rex can't afford to buy the acne medication or deodorant he needs, and bullies are noticing Rex's awkward transformation. On top of it all, things have gotten weird with his friends, making Rex feel like he can't do or say anything right. So far, seventh grade stinks!

I would use this book to teach the therese‘s of self love and acceptance, as it is a theme every child faces in life. It teaches children to embrace their differences and learn to love themselves.

Pizza face shares the story of the middle school life of a boy named Gabe. Gabe works through the struggles in life with friendship, popularity, and self acceptance. It is an entertaining story and it brings emotions to life.

I like how the author doesn't shy away from talking about topics that bother a lot of kids. This one deals with puberty, but mostly just feeling uncomfortable with yourself. There is also a lot having to do with bullying, I like that this was dealt with in an understanding way. It was a good story, a great follow-up to the first book, though they don't necessarily have to be read in order.
