Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. Another graphic novel for teen girls. There are some abrupt changes in time/place between certain pages, but not so abrupt that the story is too difficult to follow. ( ) I thoroughly enjoyed this magical-realism suspenseful summer camp story. I especially enjoyed the fact that it focused on a young girl's point of view of peer pressure and friendship dynamics, which is generally underrepresented in kid's adventure comics. Having grown up a boy, it's fun getting insight into how young women interact with each other. The book's exploration of peer pressure and group friendship dynamics is excellent and thought provoking, probably even more so for teenage readers who are actively experiencing them. Larson's strong black brushwork is very good, looking at her drawings is a big pleasure. I also enjoyed that it's set in my home state of North Carolina in the excellent town of Asheville.
Larson makes the most of the comic medium by including symbolic panels — girls gossiping together are shown growing thorny vines out of their mouths, for example, or itchy scratching fills a panel to show how annoying the sound is to the listener. It’s beautiful visual thinking that reaches the reader emotionally.
When Abby returns to the same summer camp she always goes to, she is dismayed to find that her old friends have changed, and the only person who wants to be her friend is the strange new girl, Shasta. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
