Best graphic novel I've ever read. Up there at least. Not to be missed. (

This graphic novel is a collection of twelve short stories featuring Megan McKennan. Megan is a young girl who leaves her home with nothing but a backpack and sets out to discover herself and find out where she belongs. Each story is set in a different city and follows Megan's attempts to succeed.

I really enjoyed this set of stories. At times I found Megan's adventures were a bit unrealistic but there was definite strong emotions in this story. Megan was very believable and I wanted her to find herself and be happy.

I definitely recommend this graphic novel. It's got a great storyline. The artwork's pretty good too. (

Interesting and fun indie comic. I loved this as a slice of life from a multitude of perspectives. I think that it does suffer from some continuity problems, but it didn't distract too much. (

What a charming graphic novel! Megan McKeenan sets out from Portland, Oregon with nothing but her knapsack and her wits. She travels to twelve different cities over the next twelve years or so, trying to find herself and make her way. Tragedy and terror both find her, but so also do friendship and a sense of her place in the world. The art is magnificent, especially the vividly and accurately drawn locations including Portland, Austin, Chicago, Ontario, Brooklyn.... A worthwhile evening's investment. (

This book was just okay for me. I read this book because it was on an NPR list of the best illustrated novels of 2008. Having had only good experiences with the other illustrated novels I read, I was really excited going into it. I just never felt that instant attachment to the characters that I have felt with the few other graphic novels I read. (
