Winner of Canada‘s Doug Wright Best Book award, this graphic novel is absolutely mesmerizing. It‘s sort of a mashing together of the portal from Narnia (in this case, laundry appliances), some horror, transcendental drug narratives of the ‘70s, and classic YA cautionary tales like Zindel‘s The Pigman. It‘s also something completely different and it‘s gorgeous. It‘s about feeling alienated and getting lost in another world. I love it.
The artwork in this is outstanding. Simple black and white real-life suburbia contrasts with a psychedelic alternate reality.
“Hey, can you not tell any of the kids at school about all this? I‘m still trying to fit in. I don‘t want to be known as the girl with the magical appliances.”
This book is trippy. 🙃
