Frazzled Audiobook Summary

An instant New York Times bestseller, Booki Vivat’s Frazzled is the first installment of a funny middle grade series about a girl who is always in a tizzy.

Hilarious.” (NPR’s All Things Considered)

Honest, sweet, and laugh-out-loud funny. Fans of Smile and Diary of a Wimpy Kid will appreciate this debut.” (Brightly.com)

Meet Abbie Wu. Abbie is in crisis–and not just because she’s starting middle school or because she’s stuck in a family that doesn’t quite get her or because everyone seems to have a Thing except her. Abbie Wu is always in crisis.

From author Booki Vivat, Frazzled dives right into the mind of this hilariously neurotic middle school girl as she tries to figure out who she is and where she belongs. Akin to Smile by Raina Telgemeier, Frazzled is sure to appeal to anyone in the middle of figuring out how to survive the everyday disasters of growing up.

I have to tell you all that I read this book in just a couple hours and it's completely adorable and sweet and I loved Abbie Wu's middle school adventure. My son saw me reading it and the minute I turned the last page, he snatched it out of my hands and has been carrying it back and forth to school reading and rereading it. We sat down together and talked about what we liked about it and here's our review! Frazzled is about Abbie Wu and her move to middle school. All her friends know exactly what they are good at, but Abbie just isn’t sure what her true talents are. Add to that, a new school, new classes, new people and the struggles of lunchtime and Abbie is feeling a lot of stress. I liked that it had a girl who wasn’t really sure what middle school was supposed to be like and it really showed how uncertain this time of life can be for students. It also was a wonderful way to show that you don’t necessarily have to know who and what you want to be yet. It’s definitely something that can come to you at any time and when it does, it just clicks and makes sense. I loved the doodles that are spread throughout the story! It added another element and really helped show Abbie’s struggles and frustration. I also really enjoyed the storyline… Abbie put a lot of effort into her lunchtime idea and even when it gets shut down, she uses that experience to figure out just where she might be able to put her talents to good use. I would recommend this to others because it tells a really good story about the struggles of growing up and Abbie is a character that anyone who’s going to be heading into middle school can relate to. Vivat tells the story in a way that is fun and engaging and will keep kids turning pages until the very end!Thank you to the publisher for the advanced copy of this story in exchange for my honest opinion.

This was such a cute read. I picked it up on a whim after a twitter friend (thanks, Danielle!) recommended it and it was really sweet! Poor little Abbie Wu has a case of the "Middles" — it's her entrance to middle school, and she's absolutely wracked with anxiety and a feeling of not belonging anywhere. It's so relatable, especially to someone like me who also had legitimate anxiety issues as a kid; while Abbie never puts a name on her feelings, they surely stuck out as recognizable. Abbie's narrative voice is funny, easy to empathize with, and lovable. The illustrations are absolutely adorable; the characters are all drawn in a simplistic chibi style that made me smile more than a few times, especially coupled with how classically melodramatic the little caricatures could be. I'll definitely be recommending this one to kiddos at work and I'll probably pick up more books by this author in the future!

This was so adorable. The artwork is great and I am actually surprised by how much I liked the storyline. We get to see Abbie Wu's struggle when she enters middle school. Her frustration with trying to find her 'thing' is so relatable. It reminded me of the times I used to stay awake all night before the beginning of new school year. That feeling of impending doom and how everything seemed so dramatic in my head when in reality they were not. I flew through this book and I totally enjoyed the experience. It reminded me of the simple times and my breakdown on the most minor issues, it's completely laughable now. Overall very fun and enjoyable read.

I met the author, Booki Vivat, at the ALA 2016 conference in Orlando a couple of weeks ago. When I saw the ARC (advance reader’s copy) her book, I immediately exclaimed, “Oh, I want a copy!” And since she had two, she graciously gave me on.My intent was to read the book myself because it looked so deliciously funny. But when I got home, I asked my nine-year-old son, a reluctant reader, if he would like to read it. His response was, “Sure, why not?” (Which is basically how he responds to everything.)To my surprise, he began reading that night. And he was enjoying the book so much that he said, “Hey, wanna read it with me?”We read a little of the book together, but mostly he read to himself. He was fascinated with Abbie’s new adventures in middle school, and he kept asking me a ton of questions about whether things would really be that way for him when he got to middle school.But what I liked most about my son’s experience with this book was how he constantly wanted to fill me in on what was happening with Abbie (Abbie Wu, as he called her most of the time). Most of his conversations would start with, “Did you know that Abbie Wu….?” Or, “Abbie Wu keeps trying to make things better for herself, but she keeps making them worse.”I responded by nodding and saying, “Yeah. That’s good writing, son.”Because my son enjoyed this book so much and was able to carry on conversations with me about it as he read it, I give this book five stars as well as highly recommend it to kids.

The book “frazzled” is about a girl named Abbie Wu going to middle school.What I like about this book is Abbie Wu doesn't have anything to do at school, while the others have things to do, like making clothes and playing sports. I like how she have the power to exchange the lunch. One more thing I like about this book is she’s a good friend because she helped her friends start their own things. One signpost that I noticed is Contrasts and Contradictions. I like how her brother changed at the end of the story. At the beginning, he didn't treat her sister well and he think he the best. But at the end, he buy her food and treat her well.What I don't like about this book is ,as I reading I don't really understand the book. The book was suppose to be funny but it was not funny for me.As I read this book, sometimes it make me thinking of when I was in middle school. I would recommend this book to others because it a good story for people who love to read funny books.

This review and many more can be found on my blog: Feed Your Fiction AddictionThis super cute book highlights the trials and tribulations of middle school! Abbi Wu is trying desperately to find her place in a new school where she seems destined to fail. She doesn’t feel like she has any special talents or interests that allow her to fit in automatically, and she fears that she might never find her niche. The book is full of youthful hyperbole and a whole lot of energy, and it’s sure to connect perfectly with kids who feel like middle school is the absolute worst. (My own son was part of that crowd—middle school was definitely a rough patch for us!) The book is heavily illustrated and just downright fun! And, best of all, it will help kids realize that middle school really can be navigated without disaster!***Disclosure: I received this book for free from the publisher for review purposes. No other compensation was given and all opinions are my own.***

Let me preface this by saying that I don't mean that I don't like this book *NOW* when I say that I would have really enjoyed this in my younger years. I loved this style of book when I was a kid and, in fact, just convinced my 9 year old daughter to read Double Act, which has a very similar style to this novel. The illustrations are hilarious and wonderful. I was fawning over all the gorgeous calligraphy and word art. The story itself was wonderful. It was humorous while still addressing a very real thing new-to-middle-schoolers go through. I loved the development of the plot and Miss Abbie Wu, herself. Overall, 5 stars easily! Can't wait to see more from this author - as this was a debut!
