I did not expect a "find your own adventure" style story. But that's what I got. And slowly the reasoning behind it appeared. I don't want to ruin anything, so that's all I'm saying about it. The story was in turns funny and terrifying. The confusion lifts and it all makes sense. Eventually. This was well done. I immensely enjoyed myself....more

This was extraordinary. The blending of the poetry and the graphic format made a surprisingly synergistic pairing. The poems themselves were quiet meditations on everyday life. They were short poems with sometimes deep insight. The quiet emotions of them touched me. It is a book I would read again and buy as a gift for my partner....more

These were cute. The sarcasm was well-received--I speak and understand it fluently. I found myself laughing frequently and, equally as frequently, identifying with the sentiments in the cartoons. I would hasten to add, that these are not cartoons for children, but for adults. Or, for people like me, who have been cleverly faking being an adult for decades....more

If I were a teen today, I think I would have really fallen in love with this book. As it is, I still deeply enjoyed reading it. The characters feel real. p situations are relatable. The first blush of tween friendship turning into love felt honest. The shared dream was well done. The artwork made the story even more enjoyable. All in all, it was a wonderful read. ...more

I have read more than one graphic memoir where a young person comes from a foreign country to the US. This was different. A young lady moving from Toronto to Hong Kong. While she was born in Canada, her parents were not. Her father got a job "back home" and her adventure began. Learning a new culture. Making new friends. Trying to figure out her life. This is interwoven with her father telling her the story of how his family had to flee from the Japanese and his birth under difficult circumstances. There is a lot of awkwardness, some good humor, the artwork fits the story well. It is one I would be happy to have in a middle school classroom library. ...more
