Meanwhile By Jason Shiga Amulet Books ISBN: 9780810984233 $15.95 Grades 4-7 In Stores *Best New Books* I have a problem. I’m not sure what to do when faced with a book like Meanwhile – a choose-your-own-adventure-style graphic novel. How do you review a book without a set beginning, middle, and end?
