Goodreads Synopsis: 

Summer is here, and Phoebe and Marigold are headed to drama camp. Phoebe’s expecting some quality time with her best friend, but in a surprise twist, Marigold has invited her sister, Florence Unfortunate Nostrils! While the unicorn sisters head to camp in a magical rainbow pod, Phoebe is stuck riding with her parents in their boring car, wondering where it all went wrong. But at Camp Thespis, there are more daunting tasks at hand: writing, producing, and acting in an entirely original play! The second Phoebe and Her Unicorn graphic novel is a sparkling tale of sisterhood and summer fun, as well as a reminder that sometimes it takes a bit of drama to recognize true friendship.

Review: 
I squealed when I saw another Phoebe and her Unicorn book coming out! I really love these so much. They always put me in a good mood and I love the way that Phoebe and Marigold interact so much! They are fun and funny, and the stories are always great. 

In this installment we get a full graphic novel about friendship. Phoebe and Marigold are planing to go to drama camp but things get a bit weird when Marigold's sister turns up and Marigold starts leaving Phoebe to do her own thing. This was an emotional turn for the Heavenly Nostrils series, Phoebe felt left out and Marigold was just trying to be a good sister. I think that this episode did a good job explaining the important parts of friendship and showing such a strong friendship having problems - it happens and there are ways to talk it out.

While this installment was not as funny as others in the series it still had some great parts and I think that the overall story was a wonderful one and it was nice to see another side of Phoebe and Marigold. It still put a smile on my face and I am still super excited about all the book in this series!

If you are looking to get a middle grader into reading or graphic novels these are some fun options.
