There are so many historical and cultural themes in this graphic novel. With beautiful and emotional illustrations Mcguire showcases certain events that continue throughout the book while others are fleeting.

Time in areas of the room delves deep into the past while in other areas soars into the future. What a clever, entertaining, and informative way to take a journey through thousands of years!

Feed is a dystopian young adult science-fiction story. Titus and his friends head to the moon for a party like every other day but a hacker causes all of their feeds to malfunction this time including an intelligent girl, Violet, who hasn’t always had the feed. It’s a smart, satirical story that explores consumerism, star-crossed teenage love, and identity crises. The audiobook for this story is highly recommended in order to receive a full understanding of how these feeds are implanted into their brains and function. Feed is entertaining to teens and adults through its use of language and a unique and unsettling view of our future.
