Great book!

My 11 and 13 year old daughters LOVE this series and they keep reading and re-reading all of them. "Becoming Brianna" had the same effect. It's always on our breakfast table for them to pass back and forth when they have free moments.

Great, fun, quick read for tweeners who love graphic novels

My 13yo daughter LOVES the graphic novels in this series and always reads them immediately upon arrival until she’s read it in its entirety. Can’t wait for the next one.

Even My 14 Year Old LOVES Graphic Novels

My 14 Year Old LOVES graphic novels (I told her it is cheating. lol). This one we had pre-ordered and were waiting for it forever. She read it in a day. Now is sad she doesn't have another book to read. She has read all of this series from different authors. Would highly recommend and we will be anxiously waiting for the next book.

Buy this book!!! You won't regret it!!!

This is such an awesome book. My daughter checked it out from the library. She would NOT STOP reading it. 😊

**SPOILERS AHEAD**
Brianna (Bri) does not like being in the spotlight. She finally agrees to have a bat mitzvah, a Jewish celebration for kids when they are 12/13. But...she's starting to regret it! It's a lot of work...she has to memorize a bunch of Hebrew stuff for when she recites them at the bat mitzvah! Not to mention school. After a popular girl, Zoe, invites Bri over to study, her and her BFF, Emmie, get into a fight. Then, rumors go around that Bri's bat mitzvah is just a huge party - some say she's going to have a famous singer come, and stuff like that. Then, Bri finds out Zoe was using her, her and Emmie apologize and become friends again, the bat mitzvah goes great, and she learns a lot about herself.
