The Adoption by Zidrou, Arno Monin
4.0
This graphic novel follows new grandparents of an adopted girl from Peru as they come to accept her as family and form a bond with her. But things aren’t always what they seem...
I don’t want to spoil anything, but this book was NOT what I thought it was. I thought it would be a heartwarming story about adoption but it’s actually quite dark and heartbreaking. It’s pretty moving in the way it discusses family, acceptance, and forgiveness.
I do wish a bit more was explained about how the girl came to be adopted and why things went down like they did. I was left with a lot of questions at the end.
Overall, this was a good graphic novel with lovely artwork and a powerful story! I definitely recommend it to graphic novel readers everywhere.
