Summary:

"Meet Monica, a former bossy girl with a big personality who is adjusting to becoming a teenager. She's been the leader of her group of friends since childhood, and there were few problems she couldn't solve by simply bashing her buddies with her plush bunny rabbit, Samson. Now everything's changing. Things have gotten more complicated. Her friends are still her friends, but it's different now, especially her relationship with J-Five. Before they were rivals, battling each other to be the leader of their group. Now he's grown more confident and has outgrown his childhood lisp ... except when he's around Monica. Why is he so nervous around her now? Perhaps getting the gang together to see a movie will get everything back to normal, but everything's so expensive now, can Monica and her friends even manage to do that? If only she could still solve her problems using Samson"--Publisher's website

One of the best-selling comics characters in the world is here!

Monica and her friends discover that having fun can be expensive!

When Monica, Maggy, Smudge, and J-Five decide to see a movie together, they figure out ways to make money to pay for the tickets.

School Library Journal Review

Gr 4-7-Monica, Maggy, Smudge, and J-Five are teenagers who spend lots of time together in and out of school. They've known one another for years, but recently romance has sprung up between Monica and J-Five. The four of them get into various mix-ups and funny circumstances while trying to earn spending money. Whether dog-walking, cat-sitting, or selling old comics, the teens encounter plenty of surprises. This book is the beginning of a series marketed as "the Archie for today," and both the humor and the cartoonish art style evoke the classic comics. Monica is the emotional core of the group, strengthening their friendships while deciding which romantic advances she wants to encourage or decline. This series is imported from Brazil, where it has been cross-marketed into comic books, feature films, and even amusement parks. With its upbeat tone, this series will likely soon have a strong foothold in the U.S. comics market. VERDICT For readers seeking cute and funny stories about teenage life and love.-Andrea Lipinski, New York Public Library © Copyright 2019.
