Since I first introduced this graphic novel to my students it has sparked a meaningful and authentic discourse about surviving adversity, global awarness, social justice, personal/political power and responsibility.  For reluctant readers who are in their late teens, graphic novels provide a safe sphere where meaning and personal connections are more easily made, literacy levels don't obscure the experiance and the learning. My students have since gone on the read A Long Way Gone and The Bite of the Mango.  As this academic year draws to a close, the students of the North Surrey Learning Centre and I send you our thanks.
