Leans more on the side of "essay with pictures" than "graphic novel." Simple enough to be an easy read for a grade schooler, even though it's about a seventh grader. The art style is a bit of an acquired taste. The time skips make it stand out; otherwise it probably would have dragged quite a bit. ( ) The story flows well and deals with important issues in a relatable way so this would lend itself to bibliotherapy for youngsters navigating gender expectations and sexuality. The artwork is a big letdown for me; the author wantd it to be reminiscent of the cartoons he grew up watching but frankly said cartoons had pretty shitty production values and I don't think recreating them was a good call. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

"Damian is the new kid at school, and he has a foolproof plan to avoid the bullying that's plagued him his whole childhood: he's going to stop talking. Starting on the first day seventh grade, he won't utter a word. If he keeps his mouth shut, the bullies will have nothing to tease him about--right? But Damian's vow of silence doesn't work--his classmates can tell there's something different about him. His family doesn't look like the kind on TV: his mother is dead, his father is gone, and he's being raised by his grandparents in a low-income household. And Damian does things that boys aren't supposed do, like play with Barbies instead of GI Joe. Kids have teased him about this his whole life, especially other boys. But if boys can be so cruel, why does Damian have a crush on one?" -- Amazon.com.
