I loved the use of pink throughout this graphic novel, it created a sense that the events of the story were happening in a time different to our own and yet familiar, a bit like looking at a sepia photograph. The plot is surprising too and cannot be categorised as just one thing. The story starts with us focussing on a family as they struggle to cope in the wake of a catastrophic earthquake that has brought about an end to the world as they knew it. The mother of the family has left and Ginny, as the eldest, has taken on the responsibility of helping her Dad to look after her two brothers Wes and Harry. Early on in the story, Ginny receives a letter from her absent mother and she decides to go in search of her. So begins the adventure portion of the story, which is by the far the larger chunk of the book. I am not huge on adventure stories but it was well done, the pacing was steady and characters were introduced slowly enough that you got to know them a bit before being introduced to someone new. The world building is also good, there is some info dumping as you would expect at the start of any series but it wasn't too much and you got to learn details of their world through dialogue and by following the characters.
The story of Ginny, her family and friends does not end with this book so if you enjoy this, you'll be pleased to know that the door is left open for more instalments.
