Representation: Black main character

7/10, a very hilarious graphic novel that's part of a series, can't wait to get more of them. For some reason, only the third book is in my library, they should get the other two books. ( )

Note: I accessed a digital review copy of this book through Edelweiss. ( )

Humorous fun with a mischievous little girl who lives in the city of Abidjan in the Ivory Coast. Like previous volumes, this collection of three books originally published in French consists of mostly of short six-page strips. But this time around two-thirds of the stories connect to form the epic tale of Akissi's darkest hour: her parents have decided she should go live with her great-uncle in Paris to better her education. Akissi alternates between schemes to derail the plan and having the best time possible with her friends before she leaves. The final third of the book gives us flashbacks to Akissi first meeting her best friend Edmond and her pet monkey Boubou.

As with previous adventures there is some potty humor and neighborhood infants are snatched from their mothers to be used as play dolls.

Should appeal to Little Lulu fans who prefer Miss Moppet's edgier antics with Tubby. ( )
