Journey (Aaron Becker)

Journey
Aaron Becker
Candlewick
Fiction, YA Picture Book
***** (Great)


DESCRIPTION: Bored and ignored, a girl picks up a red pen and draws a door on her bedroom wall, leading her into a strange and wondrous world.

REVIEW: In the vein of the classic Harold and the Purple Crayon, this wordless tale celebrates the magic of imagination. Fascinating wonders await as the nameless heroine explores a castle of canals and giant airships, in an adventure that leads her to discover she's not as alone as she thought she was. The detailed artwork invites one to linger over each page. An enjoyable read, even without words.
