Perhaps unsurprisingly this book continues what is a great adaption of a rather timeless series. While I was a bit concerned by the lack of modern issues tackled in the first book, I have since read Drama by Raina Telgemeier and published by Scholastic, which was for a similar age group but completely original.

Since Scholastic and Telgemeier are obviously not afraid of tackling the more "modern" issues that children are facing, I'm much more comfortable with this book - which is an adaption of a much older book. Children are still - no doubt - dealing with issues of stigma and fear/ignorance when it comes to medical issues.

Otherwise, even if I'm not the book's target audience I really enjoyed this book as a fun light read. A great adaption overall and something I would not hesitate to recommend.
