Cici's Journal by Joris Chamblain
5.0

Very sweet, 5th grade graphic novel.

Set in a lovely, safe world (in Europe, no less), where 10 year old girls can have tree houses in the woods and ride their bikes freely. Adventures, hardships in friendships, excellent depiction of parent/child interaction (it's hard, duh), curiosity and its attendant troubles.

Well rounded, heartbreakingly innocent, uplifting. I laughed, I cried. I want to live in a world with less traffic, street cafes, woods to roam through with my friends, and the belief that the world is good and interesting.

I may be completely tainted by the news of the day.
