A New York Timesbestseller!

Making friends isn't easy, but losing them is even harder!Natalie has never felt that she's enough -- athletic enough, stylish enough, or talented enough. And on the first day of middle school, Natalie discovers that things are worse than she thought -- now she's not even cool enough for her best friend, Lily! As Natalie tries to get her best friend back, she learns more about her true self and natural talents. If Natalie can focus on who she is rather than who she isn't, then she might realize she's more than enough, just the way she is.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Named one of "the year's best [graphic novel] books" by The Washington Post

"Maria writes funny, Maria draws funny, and Maria does it with a ton of heart." -- Jim Davis, creator of Garfield

"What elevates Maria Scrivan's graphic novel is the refreshing honesty with which it approaches its subject matter. The tone is instructive but not preachy, as Natalie develops her talents as a cartoonist and discovers her individuality, which brings her not only the acceptance of others but, more importantly, self-acceptance." -- Financial Times

"With the humor and illustrative style of a daily newspaper comic, debuting creator Scrivan's story of middle school minefields is gentle and timeless." -- Publishers Weekly

"Scrivan's exuberant, comic strip-esque art and simple dialogue will entice a range of readers, who will relate to Nat's insecurities." -- School Library Journal

"[A] straightforward, heartfelt story." -- Kirkus Reviews

"This story of growing up is a perfect read for students new to middle school and those questioning where their talents lie." -- Booklist

Praise for Forget Me Nat:

"Scrivan's cartoony artwork is bubbly and colorful, making for another fun and thoughtful middle-grade graphic novel.” -- Booklist

"One of the highlights of the Nat series has been the way Scrivan brings her well-honed skills as a syndicated daily newspaper cartoonist to the drawing table... An absolute joy to behold." -- The Beat

This Book Was a Complete Pleasure

I loved the artwork. The story was captivating mixed with humor. You fall in love with Nat who just wants to be happy. The book is so realistically written, with ups and downs, and events that really would happen. All this makes it totally relatable and believable. I loved this book!!! Can’t wait for my 11 year old son to read. It’s incredibly encouraging and left me full of the can-do spirit—and lots of hope. Thank you for this book!!! I highly recommend that all kids read this book. It tells an important story and reminds us to stay true! It’s always the best idea to be you—the best version of yourself!

What a great story! You can tell it comes from personal experience, although it’s hard for me to believe this talented cartoonist was that uncool in middle school.
I really liked the way she used the chapter breaks to highlight Natalie’s creativity and how she brought all this together with the frog story at the end. Natalie is a very likable and believable character. Her classmates are also classic types.
Maria Scrivan has a bright future as a graphic novelist and I look forward to her next book.

I’ve been reading the full series with my 8 year old daughter and we love them! They’re funny, light hearted and fun to read together. The only bad part is when we finish them and anxiously wait for the next one to come out :)

Anyone who has ever lost a best friend to the “cool kids” will understand Nat’s pain. Very nicely done. The author/cartoonist really captures the self-doubt and emotional journey of middle school.

this book is incredible. I bought it because it literally is the story of me and it ended up being so much better than I expected! The chapters are short which I really like.

I am 64 years old and I tutor many children via the internet. I love to find books like Nat Enough by Maria Scrivan. The artwork in this book is clean, clear and wickedly funny. Most other graphic novels are over-painted. The drawing is quirkly and it perfectly reflects the unformed personalities of the children. The images here are just right! I was reminded of Charlie Brown by Charles Schultz and that is a perfect comic like this one! And I really smiled when I saw the little inside salute to One Froggy Evening!

The story is not preachy, thank you!!! The incidents were real and funny, and the gentle response of Nat to the bullying she gets from beastly Lily and sour Shawn is probably too sweet but we need some lessons in turning the other cheek. And the rebuke Nat gives Lily is exactly right.

I read this with an 11 year old boy and we were laughing right through it. We finished it in an hour and then I bought the second one, Forget Me Nat, and we began that right away.

The only other graphic novel I liked as much as this one was the darker, but just as wonderfully illustrated and told, Suee and the Shadow. And both of these books were just the right complexity and length.

Well done, Ms Scrivan!
