Cici's Journal: The Adventures of a Writer-in-Training

154 pp. | Roaring Brook/First Second | November, 2017 | Trade ISBN 978-1-62672-248-4 $17.99
(3) 4-6 Translated by Carol Klio Burrell. Illustrated by Aurélie Neyret. Ten-and-a-half-year-old Cici is an aspiring writer with a nose for mysteries. In part one, she spies on a paint-spattered man; in part two, she follows a woman who renews the same library book each week. Both cases (originally published as separate books in France) resolve poignantly; Cici's struggle to balance sleuthing with friendships adds emotional layers to this luminously illustrated scrapbook-style graphic novel.
