Reviews
This is a colourful collection of stories presented in comic-strip form for an easy read with fun illustrations. Great for reluctant readers and new readers, too. -- BookTrust
Utterly unputdownable. Based on Abouet's childhood memories of growing up in the port town of Abidjan . . . the rapid-fire, action-packed tales are wild and antic. The colors are electric - purples, oranges, turquoises and bright yellows. * Marjorie Ingall, The New York Times Book Review *
Compiled from a bestselling comics franchise in France, this import captures the hilarious misadventures of a township girl as she rewrites the bounds of African girlhood one comical short story at a time. * Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW *
