Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an eARC in exchange for my honest review. All thoughts are my own.
“Meet Ozy and Millie, two middle-grade students in Seattle who also happen to be foxes. This comic centers around these two best friends as they take on the everyday challenges all middle-graders face—bullies, tests, and the dread of going back to school after a surprise snow day.
Ozy is a young male fox whose adoptive father happens to be a dragon and frequent presidential candidate. Ozy’s calm and thoughtful demeanor is constantly tested by Millie’s rambunctious and rebellious pursuits…”
Ahh! Ozy and Millie was so cute! The dialogue and jokes were hilarious, and I really appreciated the scenes between the adults and their wit. The kids were adorable and smart, and I loved the friendship between Ozy and Millie. I haven’t read Simpson’s other series, Phoebe and Her Unicorn, but if it’s as charming and funny as this graphic novel, then I’d love to check it out too!
I thought the art was beautiful and the plot was fantastic. I loved Ozy’s father, a fabulous probably gay dragon who is wise and sassy as heck. This was just an all-together fantastic graphic novel and I’d love to read more about these characters! Millie was a strong female fox, who didn’t take any crap from anyone. Ozy was too smart for his age and own good, but he was hilarious and loyal. They’re interactions with their friends and bullies was lovely and I didn’t want it to end.
Ozy and Millie came out August 28th, so make sure you go grab your copy!
