review:
'Mis(h)adra' with words and art by Iasmin Omar Ata is a story about trying to live with an illness that no one around you understands.

Isaac is a student, but he has seizures, so he misses a lot of classes. His father doesn't understand, and Isaac is irritable with everyone around him. As he becomes more isolated with the people around him, he finds a new friend that wants to help. When doctors won't seem to understand, his friend Jo is there to help out. When Isaac reaches the bottom, Jo shares her own experiences.

This book at first was kind of a chaotic mess and it kind of drove me crazy, until a light went on that it was supposed to be that way. At over 200 pages, the story could have been a bit shorter, but by the end, I really liked it. Especially when I found out the story was based on the author's experiences. This seems like a scary thing to go through, and surviving it took courage.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Gallery 13 and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
