(3.5/5 stars)
This graphic novel is gory, shocking, and definitely has that gross-out factor. However, I throughly enjoyed this and will be continuing with the series (I already bought Volume Two). Although it is completely unlike anything I ever find myself drawn to or read, I think that's part of the reason I liked it so much. Would I read this subject matter in a 300+ page novel? No. Would I recommend this graphic novel? Abso-fluffin-lutely.
We follow Gertrude, a 10 year old girl who falls through a portal to the magical world of Fairyland. Sounds fantastic, right? WRONG! As any other person who has come to fairyworld, Gertrude must find the key to leave, but unlike most others who found the key in a day, it's been twenty-seven years, and Gertrude, still looking like a ten year old, still hasn't found the key.
This story is hilarious, and while it doesn't feature any specific profanities, it uses words that definitely imply it. I definitely wouldn't recommend it for younger readers.
The artwork in this story is amazing! It's a very colourful book, which I think adds to it's charm and story.
I gave this 3.5 stars because where I enjoyed it and am definitely continuing the series, it felt like the first book in any series always does to me, it was setting up the series, which I understand it has to do. I predict that the series will only get better from here and my ratings will climb along with it.
