A graphic novel from author Ginger Ly and illustrator Molly Park, Suee and the Shadow is the story of a young girl attending a new school where strange things occur. Meet Suee: Twelve years old, wears her hair to the left in a point, favors a black dress, has no friends--and she likes it that way When Suee transfers to the dull and ordinary Outskirts Elementary, she doesn't expect to hear a strange voice speaking to her from the darkness of the school's exhibit room, and she certainly doesn't expect to see her shadow come to life. Then things start to get really weird: One by one, her classmates at school turn into zombie-like, hollow-eyed Zeroes. While Suee investigates why this is happening, her shadow gains power. Soon, Suee must confront a stunning secret that her shadow has been hiding under her own two feet--something very dark and sinister that could put Suee and her newfound friends at risk Suee and the Shadow series: Suee and the Shadow (#1) Suee and the Strange White Light (#2)
I'm an adult, I read this and I thought this was so creepy! I thought the introduction of the characters, the origin of the monster, the setting, and the art was so good and so well done!
There was nothing that I disliked because even the flow of the story was so good and you get so caught up with the story. I really appreciate the friendship that was made and even the adults in this graphic are kind of creepy and sleazy grown up.
This also tackles real problems and I hope kids learn to emphatize and broaden their knowledge to common problems and struggles.
Over all, such a good read and I appreciated this alot.
* I received an ARC of this graphic novel
