Dizzy is anxious about going to Auradon Prep in a couple
weeks. She’s happy to get help from Celia, Harry, and Gil in preparation for
her new school, but nothing seems to be working. Is Dizzy going to fit in at
Auradon?
Muell writes a cute story focused on being yourself -- your
best self -- no matter what others say. Dizzy faces lots of different voices
trying to tell her what to do, but she finds the strength to stay true to what
she thinks is right. While the solution felt abrupt to me, I think the message
comes across well, and it’s an important message for the audience to
internalize. The illustrations, though, are my favorite part.
