review:
'Yasmina and the Potato Eaters Part 1' with story and art by Wauter Mannaert is about a clever young cook and an insidious addictive new food product.

Young Yasmina lives with her dad. She loves to cook and loves freshly grown produce. She gets food from a couple guys with community gardens, but when those gardens get bulldozed to make way for a new addictive potato crop, Yasmina has to look elsewhere for food. Yasmina turns to the roof garden of her apartment, but since she is not invited to take food, she is stealing. What happens when she gets caught? And what the heck is going on with the weird packaged potatoes that people can't stop eating?

I liked this story of a savvy young chef and her love of eating healthy because it didn't feel like a complete sermon. The message comes across well, and Yasmina is a completely likeable main character. I can't wait to read part 2.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Europe Comics and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
