I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join the fun if you want.

I hadn't realized that this had graphic novel elements. Reminds me of the Brian Selznick books where part of the story is in words and part in pictures. Although this is intended for an older audience.
