Peaches, a bunny, lives in the city of Pocketon where she enjoys spending time with her friends. When Taro, a new mysterious cat, moves to town everyone thinks she is weird. Peaches makes it her mission to be Taro's friend, but it might be more difficult than she thinks. 

Wang's chibi-style illustrations are so adorable they make up for the slow start to this graphic novel. I liked that topics of friendship, making mistakes, and bullying were highlighted. The vocabulary may be a bit high for lower elementary students. The characters are animals.
