The story is great, and the message is even better. I love how kind Jane is and the underwater world Brosgol created. Plus, the art style is one of my favorites. ( ) Plain Jane gets a rude awakening when her parents die and a distant male relative stands to inherit everything - and kick her out of her house. Desperate and creative, Jane proposes an arrangement to handsome Peter, who works on the docks but chafes under his father's direction. Peter agrees, but then is taken by a mermaid, and Jane goes after him, with some aid from a crone (who she realizes later is the mermaid's missing sister; when mermaids take to land, their true age shows. As long as they stay underwater - and occasionally marry and eat beautiful humans - they stay young and beautiful themselves). Determined Jane meets an underwater demon, frees a selkie, and finds her lost younger brother on her way to rescuing Peter - who she decides she doesn't want to marry after all. But now that her younger brother is alive, they get to keep their house. There's much to love about sturdy, brave Jane, who fights internalized ideas about beauty and worth, and helps two out of three of the mermaid sisters also realize that it's what's inside, not outside, that counts. An adventure fantasy with depth. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
From Anya's Ghost and Be Prepared author Vera Brosgol comes an instant classic graphic novel that flips every fairy-tale you know on its head, and shows one girl's crusade for the only thing that matters--her own independence. Jane is incredibly plain. Everyone says so: her parents, the villagers, and her horrible cousin who kicks her out of her own house. Determined to get some semblance of independence, Jane prepares to propose to the princely Peter, who might just say yes to get away from his father. It's a good plan! Or it would've been, if he wasn't kidnapped by a mermaid. With her last shot at happiness lost in the deep blue sea, Jane must venture to the world underwater to rescue her maybe-fiancé. But the depths of the ocean hold beautiful mysteries and dangerous creatures. What good can a plain Jane do? No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
