Set sail with Island Book, Evan Dahm's epic graphic novel about friendship, teamwork, and the wisdom we gain when we face the unknown with bravery and an open heart.Sola is cursed. (At least, that's what everyone tells her.) It all started the day the Monster came to the island. While others fled, Sola stood before the creature, alone and unafraid. Since then she's been treated like an outcast.Shamed and feared for an event she doesn't understand, Sola sets out to sea looking for answers. In uncharted waters far from home, she discovers that her island isn't alone in the endless ocean--and the Monster isn't the only life to be found there.

Mehso-so

I‘m not sure what I just read, but I think the moral of this story is that life is about the journey, not the destination. There‘s more to it than that, but I wasn‘t captured enough by it to delve deeper into the subcontext.

The clunky dialogue really killed it for me, although I did like a lot of the wordless panels.

If you‘re looking for a book filled with symbolism that you want to spend some time unpacking, you may like this.

alisiakae @Professional_Book_Dragon I have to admit, it‘s not catching my interest all that well. The dialogue feels clunky to me. But maya loved it, and it‘s a quick read, so I do plan on finishing it this morning. 4y
