I'm confused about a bit of it, but that's not unusual in translation. I loved the color panels with trees.

I do not have words to describe how much this book affected me. My heart just broke, again and again, for Helene', because I've been there. I've felt those awful feelings. The loneliness, the self hatred, the despair...it's almost too much to bear. But, just like in life, there are hopeful moments. The last line of the book made my heart soar.

Helene is being ostracized by her friends and bullied by her classmates. In an attempt to ignore the bullying, she turns to Charlotte Bronte's "Jane Eyre". While on a school camping trip, Helene meets a (possibly rabid) fox and a girl named Geraldine. Slowly, Helene learns to stop worrying about what other people think and embraces herself for who she is.

Britt focuses on the cruelty that children are capable of and the importance of finding true friendship (whether it be a person, an animal, or a fictional character). I felt at some points that the story skipped over events, which gave it a disjointed feeling.

Een prachtig getekende graphic novel over een meisje genaamd Helene die door al het pesten op school een enorm verkeerd beeld heeft van haar lijf (we komen achter haar gewicht aan het einde als ze wordt gewogen bij de dokter en toen vond ik het nog verdrietiger), ik vond het zo sneu dat iedereen zo gemeen doet, ik kon de pijn gewoon voelen (ben zelf ook gepest). Ze verstopt zich in de wereld van Jane Eyre (die ik nooit heb uitgelezen want saaaai, al moet ik zeggen dat hoe Helene het ons het verhaal verteld ik het toch nog leuk vond, kunnen we niet het hele boek in haar manier krijgen?). Op een kampeertochtje met de klas ontmoet ze een vos en een nieuwe vriendin.
Ik vond het einde ietwat jammer. Dus de gemene meisjes geven haar toch wat aandacht? Of was dat maar een wens? *is verward*
Maar al met al, een mooi boek en je zult je ogen uitkijken met die prachtige tekeningen. Het verhaal is ook erg goed geschreven.

This is a beautifully illustrated story (how I love Isabelle Arsenault!) about a young girl who is picked on in school. It's a truly touching story. My only issue with the story is it gives away bits of Jane Eyre, which many reading this might not have read yet.
