Skim

Reading Skim was my first experience with a graphic novel. It was very hard for me to get used to how to read it and what came next in the novel. There are many issues in this novel that are very easy to relate to. I found it hard to believe that this was a children's novel. I do think that it is appropriate for teenagers, which is said to be in the children's section, but I know I would not want anyone under the age of middle school to be reading these things. Issues such as suicide were mentioned. I have known a few people who have been involved with this issue and I do believe it is crucial to be mentioned to children. This book really covers a wide variety of things from the imaginary wick en to serious issues like suicide and inappropriate teacher and student relationships. I really enjoyed this novel and I thought that it was a very fun read. It is a little bizarre but I think that is why i enjoyed it.
