Recensioner

This book would be good for intermediate and middle grades, it would be a good example to teach about graphic novels and to start a unit about WWII. The book starts with giving background on Anne's parents, the moves more into Anne's life. Eventually it follows the story of her diary.

Pretty good overview of Che's life in graphic novel format.

I have always been interested in the life and death of Ernesto "Che" Guevara, so when I spotted this in our GN collected I took it home and expected a good story. And I wasn't disappointed -- not with the story, anyway. Although Jacobson keeps stopping the action and backing up to fill in historical facts, Che's life was just so convoluted that recreating it had to take many twists and false starts. One has to have an understanding of why he felt the way he did, and of the histories of the many countries in which he tried to foment revolution, or else one is hopelessly lost. Che was a true idealist, and though he doesn't come off as an unsullied hero, he is also far from villainous.

My beef, though, was with the illustrations. Ernie Colon left me so very confused from frame to frame; his style is too changeable for my taste. His depictions of Che were inconsistent -- so much so that at times I confused Che with both Raul and Fidel Castro!

However, I feel overall that I know much more about the man and his passions than I did before, and that was the point.

Intermediate, Middle; Historical, Graphic Novel, Informational, Nonfiction; This book has beautiful illustrations and tells the story of Anne Frank and the Holocaust through illustrations, speech and thought bubbles, and direct quotations from the Frank family that have been recorded. This a great book to talk about the Holocaust as it simplifies it into pictures for developing readers or those passionate about history.
