Illustrated by
Valérie Boivin.
Hughes offers a fictionalized account of journalist and urban activist Jane Jacobs (1916–2006), who built a career saving communities in New York City, Toronto, and elsewhere from development plans. Hughes's story is informative and interesting, though the text is unfortunately set in very small font. Boivin's digitally rendered illustration style is a mix of the primitive, cartoonish, and avant garde.
