Esther's Notebooks 1: Tales from my ten-year-old life
Author: Sam Taylor
Format: Paperback / softback
Number of Pages: 56
Every week, the comic book artist Riad Sattouf has a chat with his friend's daughter, Esther. She tells him about her life, about school, her friends, her hopes, dreams and fears, and then he works it up into a comic strip. This book consists of 52 of those strips, telling between them the story of a year in the life of this sharp, spirited and hilarious child. The result is a moving, insightful and utterly addictive glimpse into the real lives of children growing up in today's world.
My name is Esther and I’m 10 years old. I told Riad Sattouf 52 really interesting and totally true stories about me (my family, my friends, my life and all that) and he made this super-realistic book with swear words and stuff because, you know, that’s how us young people talk.
Esther’s Notebooks is the first in a hilarious and heartbreaking graphic novel series that plunges us into a year in the life of a sharp, spirited and very real girl growing up in today’s world. Based on Esther’s own stories, the series will follow her life up to the age of eighteen.
By turns funny and moving, tender and cruel, Esther’s Notebooks is an unfiltered, utterly addictive glimpse into a modern childhood.
