Synopsis:
One major difference between this and the original version: Jessi joins the club here! There's also more diversity in the graphic novel, notably Logan (and Cam Geary) isn't white. It also stood out to me that Mary Anne's dad didn't specify she could only get a rescue cat (although she still does), and that Mary Anne used magnets to put up the picture of Cam Geary on her locker, rather than chewing gum...not sure why that scene was so etched in my memory.
