Booklist - 07/01/2025 Over 30 years after its original publication, Barbara Park’s iconic and beloved character is back in her very own graphic novel adaptation. Junie B. Jones is starting kindergarten, and while there are many things about her new routine she loves, she absolutely cannot tolerate the bus and the sensory overload that comes with it. While older readers may miss the original artwork, the familiar bright and welcoming style will be a hit with new readers who are already fans of books by Raina Telgemeier and Shannon Hale. The series retains Junie B.’s endearing manner of speaking and her token phrases but offers some updates, like Junie B. playing on a tablet and navigating social emotional learning. This installment is perfect for kids grappling with anxiety from new experiences, especially those starting school, as the narrative acts as a tour guide through an elementary school. The humor of Junie B. lies somewhere in the gap between a child's and an adult's perception, making her timeless antics amusing to readers of all ages. - Copyright 2025 Booklist.
