Written by: Jewel Kats
Illustrated by: Katarnia Andriopoulos

Genre: Graphic Novel (a comic strip book for kids)
Available in Print and eBook
Jewel at 33 is a Princess in her own right.
She's a fun-loving, demanding Diva who loves to shop as much she loves to write. Jewel is the apple of everyone's eye--be it her doting family, her doctor for her never-ending bowel issues, her pushy book editor and especially her frugal husband's soft spot. So, what's Jewel 's weakness? Her pet dogs: Snowie and Dolly. Particularly, naughty Snowie who is known to pee wherever he fancies--including Dolly's face!
For Jewel, her physical disability doesn't dampen her spirits. Rather, it enhances them. She gets to use an unusual fashion accessory (Imagine: A hot pink elbow crutch.) She gets out of doing housework. She gets carried up-and-down stairs like a Princess a la command. Jewel may be horribly messy, terrible with numbers and a workaholic, but nobody can imagine life without her. Not that she would let them, anyway! She has a big mouth, remember?

My Review:
I am disabled and I really enjoyed the upbeat positive attitude that the main character had. I also enjoyed reading about her family and how she gets around with her crutch. I laughed at the jokes and I think the author should be a stand up comedian. The jokes were funny and the punch lines were right on time. She did not make fun of her disability but rather she gave a funnt outlook on how she lives with her disability. I really like when she talked about her hubby!
The illustrator really did a great job of drawing Jewel. The likeness was amazing.
The book was like a comic book, and was very easy to read. I can not wait for the author to write a full length book!
I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.
I am giving this book a 5/5!
