Opposites attract when a cheerful airhead meets the resident wallflower of his new class in this heartwarming, slice-of-life school comedy series!
One lonely, gloomy fifth-grade girl is the target of her classmates' relentless bullying and teasing-that is, until a new kid arrives on the scene. Friendly Takada is as clueless as he is well-meaning, but somehow he possesses the magic ability to start drawing "Grim Reaper" Nishimura out of her shell. As the elementary schoolers experience all the fun of a childhood summer together-from going to the pool to picking sunflowers to watching fireworks-an unusual friendship blossoms!
All in all, My Clueless First Friend deals with a difficult subject bullying in an ingenious yet sensitive way. Takada and Nishimura are realistically portrayed and its difficult not to empathize with them. Its good to find another of those rare titles thats judged suitable for all ages, so this would make an excellent addition to a primary (or elementary) school library. Read Full Review
