Yes, there were a couple pages dedicated to her love interest, but I am very glad that the author didn't overdo it and focused more on the character and her facing her fears. Page by Paige was an excellent read.runner4life23https://www.blogger.com/profile/03253611629001475350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040911948950965125.post-23216494344602059752012-04-21T13:03:00.249-05:002012-04-21T13:03:00.249-05:00I hadn't ever thought of it, but portraying in...I hadn't ever thought of it, but portraying in artist's life through a graphic novel is such a great idea! I could see this being taught in a class and all the good themes and character development being brought to life by the students. It also seems to be a story everyone can enjoy; even though the protagonist is a girl and there seems to be romance, it doesn't seem to be too romantic or girly, which is good for the male students.amberKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14137703736603539115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040911948950965125.post-5754535436584436932012-04-20T12:15:50.341-05:002012-04-20T12:15:50.341-05:00Same, this class was the first class I had ever re...Same, this class was the first class I had ever read a graphic novel. I had always related them to just being cartoons, but they teach lessons that are very important. Another graphic novel you guys should look at is Fun House, very great read! Btw, thanks for the insightful comments :)runner4life23https://www.blogger.com/profile/03253611629001475350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040911948950965125.post-75134266382484895752012-04-19T15:56:22.680-05:002012-04-19T15:56:22.680-05:00I used to read collections of comics when I was yo...I used to read collections of comics when I was younger (Calvin & Hobbes and the like) but this class was also the first time I encountered a graphic novel. So far they have been much better than I anticipated! This one seems very interesting. I really liked the insight you gave to why the author might have left the novel in black and white and what that has to say about it. It sounds like young adults would very much be able to relate to Paige and her struggles to define herself, and to also help young adults understand that others go through the same thing.Nicole Dahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06396537768796416959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040911948950965125.post-57736271109130961462012-04-18T11:57:19.032-05:002012-04-18T11:57:19.032-05:00This class was the first time I had ever read a gr...This class was the first time I had ever read a graphic novel, and I have to say I may be hooked. This one sounds like a great read. I like it is seems to confront many of the real life issues that teens have to face as they grow up, move on, and figure out how to express themselves in a meaningful way. Definitely something that the young adult audience can connect to as well as maybe giving a reminder to older readers what it was like to be that age. Putting this one on my ever growing to-read list!Demitrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01049710124821803936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040911948950965125.post-6718912250786229972012-04-14T15:49:19.366-05:002012-04-14T15:49:19.366-05:00I think this book would be perfect because it desc...I think this book would be perfect because it describes the experience of exploration, in which many teenagers become familiar with at some point. I also find that if students are engaged in topics that are closely reletable they find much pleasurein learning. I would like to see this book offered for 9th and 10th graders. Reason being, after 10th grade high school becomes less explored. Just my opinoin!!<br /><br />SafaSafahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02347373612358361287noreply@blogger.com
