Mistinguette #3

On the cover of this third volume from Editions Jungle, a cheerful red-haired girl — Mistinguette herself — lounges against a pink pillow, wearing a purple top and flower accessories, holding up her phone with an endearing grin. The playful doodles surrounding her (hearts, smiley faces, peace signs) perfectly capture the lighthearted middle-school energy promised by the subtitle La reine du collège — "The Queen of Middle School." Amandine's bright, expressive artwork gives the whole thing an irresistible charm that makes this 2013 Franco-Belgian all-ages series easy to fall for.
