Love the message(s), and I'm always happy to see another dragon boy. This touched lightly on intergenerational trauma The artwork was very cute and relatable for all ages. I wouldn't mind seeing these characters again, but it also had a fitting end. Bon, c’est une bd pour enfants et c’est à cet aune-là qu’il faut la juger (si tant est que juger soit le bon terme !), mais j’ai trouvé cette bd un peu trop impersonnelle dans son dessin (trop directement inspirée des mangas et animés) et un peu trop fourre-tout dans son intrigue. Le sujet est intéressant : la tendance que l’on peut avoir à se dévaloriser soi-même et à ne pas se faire confiance, la difficulté à assumer la pression d’être à la hauteur des attentes de sa famille, savoir faire ses propres choix… Une bd très adolescente, qui touche à beaucoup de sujets au cœur des préoccupations de cet âge-là, mais qui d’un point de vue artistique ou littéraire ne m’a pas convaincue. A voir ce qu’en pensent les principales intéressées (puisque j’imagine, au vu des dessins naïfs et des couleurs tendres, que le « public cible » est avant tout féminin)... I really enjoyed the artistic style in this graphic novel. The story itself felt like a combination of Kiki's Delivery Service and Miyazaki's Spirited Away, but still had unique world building. My one critique is that it felt as if all the adults in the story, with the exception of one, were overly critical. That being said, I can see how it feels like that sometimes from the perspective of a kid. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Sophie is a young witch whose mother and grandmother pressure her to attend the Royal Magic Academy -- the best magic school in the realm -- even though her magic is shaky at best. To train for her entrance exams, Sophie is sent to relatives she's never met. Cousin Sage and Great-Aunt Lan seem more interested in giving Sophie chores than in teaching her magic. Frustrated, Sophie attempts magic on her own, but the spell goes wrong, and she accidentally entangles her magic with the magic of a young water dragon named Lir. Lir is trapped on land and can't remember where he came from. Even so, he's everything Sophie isn't -- beloved by Sophie's family and skilled at magic. With his help, Sophie might just ace her entrance exams, but that means standing in the way of Lir's attempts to regain his memories. Sophie knows what she's doing is wrong, but without Lir's help, can she prove herself? Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

makes a bad first impression. Awkward, inexperienced, and plagued with self-doubt, she pales in comparison to her
cousin Sage and to Lir, the water dragon she befriends, but her family and new friend help set her on a path to selfdiscovery. Gorgeous manga-style artwork and a heartfelt narrative bring this book's magic to life.
