CICIS JOURNAL GN VOL 01 ABANDONED ZOO

Now available for the first time in paperback! Cici's Journal is a heartfelt, gorgeously-rendered graphic novel about an aspiring young writer with a knack for people-watching who sets out to solve a few mysteries in their town. Cici dreams of being a novelist. Her favorite subject: people, especially adults. She's been watching them and taking notes. Everybody has one special secret, Cici figures, and if you want to write about people, you need to understand what's hiding inside them. In a graphic novel interwoven with journal notes, scrapbook pieces, and doodles, Cici assembles clues about the odd and wonderful people she's uncovered, even as she struggles to understand the mundane: her family and friends.(W) Joris Chamberlain (A/CA) Aurelie Neyret160 pages, softcover, FIRST SECOND BOOKS
