review:
'Operatic' by Kyo Maclear with art by Bryon Eggenscwhiler is a graphic novel about finding the thing you like, even if everyone doesn't.

Charlie is in a class in school where she is supposed to find her favorite song. She is puzzled by this assignment, because she hasn't really run across that song. She is also puzzled by the empty desk of student Luka, who is supposedly out sick. As the class studies genres, Charlie is struck by a Maria Callas aria. Maria's rise to fame is interwoven along with Luka's.

I liked this story of young people finding themselves when things are difficult. I liked the personal feel of the stories, and especially the way the interwoven stories used different colors for the art.

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