In a series of vignettes, Myrick tells of his growing up in a small Missouri town. The art grew on me throughout the small book. It's definitely something to read and think about quietly, like poems but in cartoons. Although my local library has it shelved with juvenile graphic novels, I would put it in YA or adult. I'm not sure it would appeal to children; the nostalgic feel might be something an adult would appreciate. Also, there's a scene with a dying man in the ER that I would be concerned about for kids.

Distinctions
Firecrackers lighting up an ancient tree on a summer night. Twin boys born the same night their grandmother passes away. Teenagers hanging by their fingertips from the roof of a parking garage. These are the moments of quiet poetry that make up Leland Myrick's "Missouri"" Boy." Happiness alternates with tragedy in these snapshots of Myrick's own Missouri childhood. Filled with startling and at times achingly beautiful images--from a perfect paper airplane flying in the autumn sky to a solitary cross-country motorcycle trip--Myrick's graphic poem brings together the experiences that formed his character, for better and for worse. Poignant, timeless, and gently evoked, "Missouri Boy" is a unique tribute to a small-town American childhood. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
