No Country

I have never read a graphic novel before but I absolutely loved this and will be reading lots more.

This graphic novel is very worrying as it is set in a time which could be now with Covid.

It is about a family who have been separated and are trying to get out of their country where there is a civil war. The mum is out already and is trying to get all the paperwork for her family sorted so they can get across safely. The dad is looking after the children.

The story is mainly about the middle girl of three children and how it is affecting her and how she sees the world.

They are going through very scary times, they can’t say anything in case they get in trouble, they can’t always get hold of food and the army are very mean.

The story got me really involved and I loved the illustrations. It ended on a bit of a cliffhanger so now I am going to have to get hold of the next book.

This is great, I really loved it. Everyone should read it.

Very good book with pictures and short text.

A good book for a reluctant reader because it has pictures and less text on each page for the reader. I enjoyed this book, it was a good topic and i like to read about other peoples lives in countries that are suffering war. I liked this style of book as it was different to my usual books.

This book shows the importance of family and friends above all else and how important it is to stand up for what you believe in, a wonderful read.

No Country is about family, it’s about standing up for what you believe in even if the world is against you and it’ll probably all go wrong. It’s an amazing dystopian novel set in a war-like future where it’s dangerous to even believe anything different. People who don’t obey are disposed of, and never seen again, but people still stand up for what is right, even if it is in secret. This book has such an important message and teaching, it shows how important family is no matter what and that you should always try and stand up for what is right.

Really well drawn book about a family living in a country going through a civil war, that shows how difficult life would be.

I really like graphic novels and I was really pleased that we were allowed to review this one. It's the story of a family that are in a country that is going through a war, and life is very dangerous for them. I thought that the pictures told the story really well, and it did a great job of showing how dangerous their life is, and that it could happen to anyone. I think anyone that wants to know what it's like to live in a war should read this book. I know there are countries who are going through this at the moment and this book helped me to understand what life must be like for them.
