I had way more fun with the visual storytelling and turn-the-book text gimmick than with the fairly schmaltzy message and somewhat cliche/confused narrative. I think I would look for other Santat picture books for that pictures alone.

Best inclusion of a back of book barcode in the cover art I've seen in a while. 😁

Here, by Richard McGuire (2014)

Premise: The story of a room across the generations of its inhabitants.

Review: This is a brilliant premise brilliantly executed. You really just have to see it to appreciate it.

Bookish Pair: A literary version of this idea was well-executed in North Woods, by Daniel Mason (2023)

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

🖼️ Graphic Novel

🕰️ Historical

Medium: Graphic Novel

This is very interesting. It's more a reflection on time and a history of how it is measured and how that has changed than a self help book of any sort. I would recommend not reading this if you are seriously burnt out already.

Although I enjoyed this novel, and I like reading a story about a hero at the FDA (they do so much to keep us safe), I found the story itself to be a little flimsy. The motives of the bad guy never quite ring true for me. It seems more like a collection of elements and character types mixed together than it does like a cohesive story. I found it fun to read while I was reading, but I don't think this one is going to stick with me.
