Press reviews for: Cartooning Teen Stories
Karrie Fransman, graphic novelist and comic creator, author of The House That Groaned and Death of the Artist
Life is a mess of moments and emotions, particularly when you're a teenager. This book shows us how comics can help young people to detangle their experiences, stringing stories together with images to reveal internal worlds. Drew's sensitive book is brimming with comics, worksheets, games and advice to help you harness the power of comics in youth work.
Nicola Streetan, author of Billy, Me & You
This is a must read for anyone who cares about people. Jenny Drew successfully uses the comics form to present experiences of young people in a way that invites us to reflect on how cultural issues can impact lives. Her provision of the historical and social context and inclusion of workshop templates and resources offers insight into how such pressures can be understood and addressed.
