Graphic Novel Review | Stepping Stones (Peapod Farm #1)

Stepping Stones is the first in the PeaPod Farm graphic novel series by Lucy Knisley. It features young Jen whose mother moves her from the city to a farm to live with her mother’s new boyfriend, Walter and help him care for his farm. At the farm, Jen is saddled with chores like caring for chickens and selling at the farmer’s market. Her mother’s boyfriend Walter is infuriating and dismissive of Jen’s feelings. Things get worse when Walter’s daughters Andy and Reese come to the farm on weekends. The girls are alright but Andy seems to be a know-it-all while Reese won’t stop whining. Can Jen make a life at Peapod Farm?
