Coming of age story about resisting tyrrany
4 stars
In this graphic novel, Cinzia is a printer's apprentice in a loosely medieval city. (Not supernatural, but not a real historical place either.)
As the powers that be begin to clamp down on the freedoms of the people of the city, she finds herself leading a group of kids to bring their secrets to light.
Girl-centric and inspiring, it's a good read and a good message -- likely excellent for tweens and young adults. (And fun for us grown-ups as well.)
