Graphic novel fans who are also manga readers may be OK with a spasmodic storyline which can be more common in that format. Awkward jumps between scenes and tiny illegible jokey comments in the frames’ backgrounds (which ARE sometimes funny when you can actually read them) are just two of the numerous problems with this disjointed story. Even with significant editing, it is hard to imagine this story becoming visually appealing or coherent. The first few pages are in full color, but the rest of the book is black and white with sometimes vague minimal line drawings. Floaty head Prince Neptune and full-body but homeless Madison become rivals, and Neptune shows his true colors when he tries to take over the school with his evil powers. Once she knows the power of the sketchbook, she draws a new perfect bestie, Madison, who will surely make her popular. He emerges, alive, from the pages into her room, but since she only sketched his pretty face, he is just a talking “floaty head.” She wants to keep him around and secret so she carries him in her backpack and keeps him in her locker.

When Prince Neptune starts to manipulate Danielle to take over this dimension, Madison and Danielle team up with some of their other friends and banish Prince Neptune to moon which is a shame because I really liked Prince Neptune. But Prince Neptune tells Madison the truth and Madison freaks out. Madison thinks that she must be a terrible daughter that they don't even check up on her. Madison comes to life and Danielle and Madison have a lot of fun but when Madison asks about her parents, Danielle says that they are in New York busy with the move and buying the house and all. Since she doesn't currently have any friends, she draws a girl and names her Madison who is cool and best friends with Danielle. That head comes to life and she finds out that the sketchbook is magical. She thinks he is dreamy and misunderstood and draws his head in that sketchbook. She loves watching a show called Solar Sisters and loves the villain in that show, Prince Neptune.
