Charlie is in her last year of middle school. While doing an assignment for her music class, she connects with the music from famous opera singer Maria Callas. Through exploring music, Charlie also begins to reflect on insecurities & how they influence everyday actions.
Maclear does a fabulous job of discussing insecurities growing up and finding confidence in who you are. I really connected with Charlie’s story because growing up music meant everything to me and was a way (besides through books) that I could deal with emotions and life situations.
Eggenschwiler’s illustrations were some of my favorites that I’ve seen lately. The artwork really captures this story & I loved how music was visualized within this graphic novel. Absolutely stunning & will definitely be looking into what other work Eggenschwiler has created.
Overall this was a fast read, but definitely one that left an impression.
