17/2022 Y pasamos a un tebeo lleno de luz y de colores. Y qué bien usados para identificar bien las historias de los personajes.

Todo gira alrededor de un trabajo de fin de curso para alumnos de octavo que tienen que elegir la canción que mejor les represente y la protagonista, casi de rebote, descubre a Maria Callas y le entusiasma, así que mientras investiga sobre su vida, se aficiona a la ópera y nos cuenta también la historia de su compañero Luka, que ya no va al colegio y del que me hubiera gustado saber más.

Es una historia bonita, sin mucha complicación y con algunas viñetas espectaculares que representan muy bien qué sientes cuando de repente una canción lo llena todo a tu alrededor y te atrapa. Que por suerte, te sigue pasando aunque seas muy mayor.

Muy bonito.

I feel like this might be a seriously under recommended graphic novel. The way the art is an integral part of the story is truly stunning. There are some panels I would love to frame. And the story itself is original and quiet and beautifully framed around an 8th grade music class. I really, really loved this one.

Very cool graphic novel about finding your people. The art style really propels the story forward, as different colors are used to tell different parts of the story.

There are so many beautiful, wonderful layers to this book. The three main colors used to indicate the three stories is probably my favorite though. And the story itself is doing so much work.

I'll give a more in depth review later. For now, I'll just say Read this book!
