The adjective must agree with the feminine noun: "boa" not "bom".

Cultural Tip
In Brazil, "mochila" can refer to anything from a school bag to a hiking pack. When praising an item, Brazilians often use the adjective after the article (uma boa mochila). Avoid mixing gender – "um" or "bom" would be wrong because mochila is feminine. The adverb "também" at the start sounds more natural and emphatic, while placing it after the verb (É também…) is acceptable but slightly less common.
