Not to mention the indoor activities and workshops that students organised for the kids in Akademeia High School. They also visited Centrum Nauki Kopernik and Łazienki Królewski Park. Our students took the children to the zoo, the trampoline park and the Polish Radio headquarters. The camp was an opportunity for them to experience fun activities, make new friendships and take part in exciting field trips. Those kids, aged 7-13 years, fled such countries as Iraq or Kirghistan to find safe haven in Poland. It covers universal, age-appropriate topics like friendship, belonging and identity from a fresh, fun perspective.This summer, our students organised a two-week summer camp for refugee children living in Warsaw. And it’s clear this message has a domino effect: from Molly to Olive, and from Olive to her peers.Ĭlick is perfect for readers aged 8+ and any fans of Guts, Smile, Real Friends and Invisible Emmie. Through Molly’s guidance, Olive is inspired to step out of her comfort zone and march to the beat of her own drum – just like Molly. For some people it’s harder to make that kind of connection.’ It’s a true and impactful statement that resonates with the graphic novel on a broader scale. Molly says that ‘some people can find their place anywhere.
Olive leans on her aunt Molly for support and inspiration, and in turn, learns to view her situation from a new perspective. Each panel is detailed yet simple, allowing readers to seamlessly form connections between a large cast of characters through dialogue and illustrated expression. The graphic novel format complements the subject matter perfectly. But how she ultimately solves her fitting-in setback puts a creative spin on what our idea of a clique is. When she learns of the concept, cliques become everything to Olive. And just as much as kids, Click shows that adults can feel like this, too. I think at some point, we’ve all felt a bit like Olive: feeling like we don’t fit in, feeling alone in a crowd of people, feeling displaced. There’s so much to take away from this graphic novel. With the performance drawing closer by the minute, will Olive be able to find her own place in the show before the curtain comes up?Ĭlick is a heartfelt and insightful story about navigating friendships, leaning on family and learning to take the stage in the most important role of all. When a school variety show leaves Olive stranded without an act to join, she begins to panic, wondering why all her friends have already formed their own groups… without her. Olive “clicks” with everyone in the fifth grade – until one day she doesn’t.
Olive wants to get in on the act… any act! For fans of Raina Telgemeier comes the first book by New York Times bestselling author-illustrator Kayla Miller about friendship and finding where you “click”.
