I really enjoyed the half text/half art format and would love to read more graphic novels that way. I thought the plot itself was nothing special (a bit predictable, really) but I felt so much sympathy for Mary as a character; she was very well written. This felt like a more YA version of "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark" and I think a lot of readers will enjoy that. ( ) Beautiful, dark tale of a lonely girl living in an unfriendly orphanage, called Thornhill. The prose part is the diary of the girl, Mary, in 1982, and is interspersed by sequences of full-page black&white illustrations, telling the story of another young girl, Ella, growing up in the shadow of Thornhill in 2017, and learning of its dark past. So, not a cheery tale. But Smy pulls it off really well — it's very engaging, and the interplay of diary pages and illustrations works exceedingly well. Might have liked a slightly more nuanced, complex ending, but a very good book. Beautiful edition too. This story is about an orphan, Mary, who was bullied in 1982. Her section of the book is told through journal entries. At the same time, there are many full-page illustrations telling the story of Ella, a girl who has moved next door to the old orphanage in 2017. This was both sad and disturbing. I am not sure what age group this was meant for. The writing was more middle grade, but the actual content was more appropriate for an older age group. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
