(1) 4-6 Translated by Susan Ouriou. Illustrated by Isabelle Arsenault. In this powerful picture book–size graphic novel, Hélène, ostracized by her former friends, escapes into reading, specifically Jane Eyre; in Jane, Hélène discovers an outcast kindred spirit. Arsenault uses varied page layouts and a mix of illustrative techniques to pace the story and express emotion. Britt's poetic prose captures Hélène's heartbreaking isolation in this brutally beautiful story.
