To be honest, most graphic novels are not my thing. I have had to read several for my different classes, and I have never really seen their appeal, until now. I read Page by Paige, by Laura Lee Gulledge, and I see now why readers flock to this format. Without the graphic novel format, this story would be dull and lifeless. Paige's art brings her story and struggle to life. Paige uses her art to figure out who she is, and in doing so, she is able to become an artist. The black and white drawings by Gulledge only help to add drama and emphasis to the words that she puts on the page.
Page by Paige – Laura Lee Gulledge
Paige Turner, who has just moved to New York with her family, uses her sketchbook to try to make sense of her new life, and she finds the process of sharing her artwork and identity with others both scary and rewarding.
