CICI's Journal
2 total works
Cici dreams of being a novelist. Her favourite subject: people, especially adults. She's been watching them and taking notes. Everybody has one special secret, Cici figures, and if you want to write about people, you need to understand what's hiding inside them. But now she's discovered something truly strange: an old man who disappears into the forest every Sunday with huge pots of paint in all sorts of colours. What is he up to? Why does he look so sad when he comes back? In a graphic novel interwoven with journal notes, scrapbook pieces, and doodles, Cici assembles clues about the odd and wonderful people she's uncovered, even as she struggles to understand the mundane: her family and friends.
Everyone has secrets, but no one can hide them from Cici!
As a future writer, Cici knows what questions to ask and where to find the clues she needs to unlock peoples' hearts. Yet even though Cici is great at helping others, for a long time now she has kept a dark and painful secret hidden inside herself.
Cici's friends and mom all want to help her heal, but she keeps pushing them away. Can a treasure hunt, a mysterious mansion, and an epic beachside fight help her to open up at last?
