Addie's father thinks it would be a good idea to take a temporary summer job so he and Addie can get away from all the problems they've been having recently. Addie isn't so sure about this change of scenery. She does know it provides a special opportunity for her father, so she packs up her things and they head off.
VR (virtual reality) is her father's specialty. Addie never really thought much about it, but when she visits her father's summer lab and meets the students he will be working with, she finds out VR may be just the escape she needs.
Addie meets a new friend named Mateo. Together they explore the VR world. With the help of Addie's dad and his students, they discover a way to help kids in the hospital where Mateo volunteers. It turns out to be a great summer for Addie. She learns that empathy can also help her reconnect with her mother and better understand sometimes things happen despite how hard they try to prevent them.
LO & BEHOLD is the first graphic novel by Wendy Mass. With the help of Gabi Mendez's illustrations, Mass shares a story that is sure to inspire middle grade readers to find ways to help others.
