This would be a great family read aloud. ( ) ..... Does anybody know WHY I was so sure this book was a graphic novel? Yesterday I was like "this one is discounted on Amazon so I should buy it straight away. I remember that this is a graphic novel, so the ebook would be a nightmare to read *orders it*" and THE FEELING WHEN I OPENED IT OMG IT HIT ME SO HARD THAT NDJSKSNSHSJ I DON'T KNOW. IF MY NONEXISTENT BOYFRIEND CHEATED ON ME I WOULDN'T BE MORE DISAPPOINTED. Adding to that, "Brimming with color [...]" "Bursting with color [...]" were a little bit deceiving too idk 😂 I mean, there's only one.single.drawing in the whole book 😂😂 dayum. A whimsical tale of Alice's quest to find her father in the magical land of Furthermore. I loved the writing style, interrupting narrator and beautifully painted scenes. I loved Alice's determination and histrionics, her self-doubt and her self-love. I liked the moral messages about loving yourself and accepting yourself as an other, even though being different can be difficult. I wish I had this book to read when I was twelve. This is such a fun book! I could honestly see this world becoming a TV show one day, probably in the same scope of the [b:Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library|16054808|Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library (Mr. Lemoncello's Library #1)|Chris Grabenstein|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1379335670l/16054808._SY75_.jpg|21839952] movie they made. The premise is fairly simple, color is magic and our heroine has no color. The adventure is a little silly (as it should be for the grade level it is written for), but the characters are really fleshed out. One thing I appreciated was how there was no romantic arc to this plot.

She did great - it's just what I wanted it to be. Highly recommend :) no reviews | add a review
