  • Galatea

    By Madeline Miller
    5 stars

    I read this on the train home from school. It was completely engaging, both the retelling of a myth and the creation of one. I'm devastated this was only a short story - I want more!

    After loving Akira so much, I've decided to give manga a proper go. This was a cute, easy read, with great illustrations. I've got the next volumes lined up and ready to go.

  • Medusa: The Girl Behind the Myth

    A well-written retelling of the myth of Medusa. It was engaging and I breezed through it. I'm excited to teach this text to my students.

  • Recitatif

    By Toni Morrison

    A great, thought-provoking short story. The introduction (although I read it after the fact) by Zadie Smith was a great companion essay.

    I can hear the film's score when I read this. I'm obsessed with Akira and I'm excited to get my hands on every volume. The art style is incredible, the storytelling is immaculate, and I was completely enthralled.

    Beautiful story. Beautiful prose. So much better than the film.
