Book Description

THE ISOBEL JOURNAL is no ordinary snapshot of a contemporary teenage life. A charming and vivid narrative scrapbook of the 18-year-old author s sketches, mini-graphic novels, photographs and captions, it captures her wit, observations and creative talent as she takes us through the central themes in her life: Love; Friends, Art and Otters; and All About Me. Resonant of Laura Dockrill s Mistakes in the Background and with the powerful naive illustrative style of cult Japanese artist Yoshitomo Nara, this is a collector s gift for teenagers and all who have the teenage experience still in their hearts. Readers will empathise with this witty and honest journal of a girl getting to grips with impending adulthood. A must-have for anyone who appreciates the raw creativity of youth.
