Brooke is happy when her mother, Wendy, marries Terrance, because he is her best friend Jayla's father! Now, the four get to travel around in an RV, visiting national parks while the parents do conservation research. Brooke is very interested in nature, and keeps a very detailed journal of all of the animals she encounters. She has an extensive bucket list, but has yet to see a moose! For her birthday, she is given an infrared trail camera, and when she and Jayla set it up, they see some really interesting activity, including a fox and a baby owl. When Jayla sees a moose swimming in the river, Brooke is a little jealous of her new sister, but the two make up quickly. They also go off the trails to look for animals, which doesn't end well, and they learn a lesson about observing safety protocols.

This was a very fun graphic novel, and I loved the illustration style. There are a lot of pages that show the inside of the RV that made me a little nostalgic for the travel trailer my parents had when I was young. There's lots of information about plants and animals, and good tips about best practices in nature. This was a lot more upbeat than most graphic novels, so I will purchase a copy, and definitely would recommend this for an elementary library.

Thank you so much to Scholastic for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review! Diary of a Nature Nerd is both charming and informative for readers both young and old! Tiffany Everett takes readers on a beautifully illustrated adventure, allowing young readers to not only learn incredible facts about animals in the wild, but also learn about nature, and being the best sister you can be. This was such a delightful read with stunning illustrations that left me eager for more of Tiffany's art! This is the perfect book for the adventurous and nature-loving reader in your life, or even for anyone who wants a joyful, short and sweet, coming of age middle grade graphic novel!
