Description
Cici dreams of being a novelist. Her favourite subject: people, especially adults. She's been watching them and taking notes. Everybody has one special secret, Cici figures, and if you want to write about people, you need to understand what's hiding inside them. But now she's discovered something truly strange: an old man who disappears into the forest every Sunday with huge pots of paint in all sorts of colours. What is he up to? Why does he look so sad when he comes back? In a graphic novel interwoven with journal notes, scrapbook pieces, and doodles, Cici assembles clues about the odd and wonderful people she's uncovered, even as she struggles to understand the mundane: her family and friends.
Cici's Journal is a heartfelt, gorgeously-rendered graphic novel about an aspiring young writer with a knack for people-watching who sets out to solve a few mysteries in their town.
About the Author
Joris Chamblain stumbled into graphic novels when he was very little and decided at an early age that comics would be his career. Nowadays he devotes all his time to writing comics and books for kids, and even trying his hand at a novel. He and his many artistic collaborators have quite a few projects in the works. Aurelie Neyret is an illustrator from Lyon, France. When she was little, she loved to hide away and read all night long, and-more than anything else-to draw! Today, her approach to life hasn't changed much, and she works hard to bring her projects to fruition.
