A terrible plane crash. A bevy of exotic flowers. And a man-eating dragon.
Thus begins a mysterious, deserted island adventure of 3 sisters.
But don't let this intense description of this graphic novel scare you off. Wildflowers is one of the newest works by acclaimed Argentinian cartoonist Liniers. He crafted this work after inspiration hit when taking a photo of his 3 little girls in the Yucatan jungle.
There's something really cool and interactive about this book. If you purchase the graphic novel via the Toon Books website, you'l get a free packet of wildflowers. So the young readers in your life can create their own island botanical garden as well!
Wildflowers by Liniers is a very short and quick read for readers in first and second grade. The colorful artwork, the imaginative adventures and the witty dialogue between the siblings was just so great.
Again, I know that when you hear about a plane crashing on a deserted isle and a fierce monster, you might be thinking can a 6 or 7 year old really read this? I promise you, this is not a kiddie version of LOST. I don't want to ruin the surprise ending to this book. But everything is age appropriate here.
Worth Consuming!
Rating: 9 out of 10 stars.
