Cuckoo by Joe Sparrow
3.0
(3,5 stars)
Excellent illustrations and colors; the story left me wanting more. Too much telling, not showing.
The ending was surprisingly bittet-sweet, but the final plit twist kind of took the wind out of the whole coming-of-age aspect of the story. It made it seems like everything the protagonist was feeling was explained away with this plot twist, which I don’t think was the author’s intention.
