“Sally Jones was suffering from a broken heart.”
I received a copy on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This is a really compelling commentary on the human treatment of wild animals. The whole story really broke my heart as every time I felt hope for Sally Jones it was ripped away by the next awful act. It shows how wild animals are villanised for “acting out” when they only do so because humans have pushed them to that point.
The art style was extremely unique, it had a vintage almost old fashioned type feel to it. Its unlike any other graphic novel i’ve read and on numerous occasions I had to stop and just appreciate it.
This is a really challenging read because of how real it is. It simply cant be called a work of fiction because it’s so honest to the real world. I think this story could honestly be engaging and impactful to any sort of reader. Even younger readers who may not understand every aspect could certainly take away lessons from this.
