(4) 4-6 Graphic Universe: Lou! series. These third and fourth French-import graphic novels focus on thirteen-year-old Lou's continuing angst. In Dumps, Lou is moody: she's having friendship drama and her mother is distracted by a new boyfriend. In Summer, Lou chooses between two boys during vacation as her mother contends with success as a writer. Although lighthearted and contemporary, these books rely heavily on gender stereotypes. Review covers these Graphic Universe: Lou! titles: Down in the Dumps and The Perfect Summer.
