The Breadwinner: A Graphic Novel by Nora Twomey, Deborah Ellis
4.0
challenging dark emotional sad tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

- this graphic novel is based on a book about a girl who has to disguise herself as a boy to survive in Taliban controlled Kabul in the early 2000s
- I loved the element of story telling in this! The images that accompanied the story her dad tells at the beginning is gorgeous. I’d love to read a whole novel just about those stories.
- my only issue is that the story felt too short. I wish we’d gotten more depth, but, being a children’s book, it makes sense why this may be on the shorter side.
