PTSD

"Singelin’s lush watercolors bring rich, tropical texture to the infinitely detailed, Tokyo-inspired cityscape. The spiraling city and vibrant colors give the world a surreal, out-of-time quality, like a violent dream. Unlike in macho tales of grit and glory, Singelin infuses his story and characters with deep, simmering warmth...This is a gorgeous meditation on the lingering horrors of war." —Publishers Weekly, starred review

"French-Laotian creator Singelin creates a gritty and suffocatingly detailed atmosphere, with candy-coated coloring that ebbs into a grimy color wash...Teens interested in cutting-edge comics will appreciate this eerie tale." —School Library Journal

"How are we meant to feel about the violence that has undone so many? Its moral, however, is unassailable: to reconnect with the world, you must lend a helping hand to others but—equally important—accept one when it’s offered to you. Having a scrappy dog at your side can’t hurt, either." —Booklist
