Claire and the Bakery Thief and Claire and the Water Wish by Janice Poon [in Bloomsbury Review]
City-girl Claire reluctantly moves to the country, where her parents open an all-organic bakery. During her first summer in the country, she saves her kidnapped mother with the help of her new best friend Jet. When the school year begins, she helps expose toxic dumping by a nearby company and becomes a local hero. Poon uses a combination of diary entries and storyboard graphics to vividly capture Claire’s adventures.
