Akissi is an absolute joy... her world is real, rounded, full of warmth and humour. * BookTrust *
If you've yet to experience Abouet and Sapin's depiction of Ivory Coast life I cannot recommend this series more highly. In these most difficult of times books like Akissi are a beacon of joyous light in the darkness of reality. -- Andy Oliver * Broken Frontier *
[Mathieu Sapin] brings Akissi's Abidjan suburb to life, and is great when moments of exaggeration are needed. * The Slings & Arrows Graphic Novel Guide *
Set in the lively, bustling Cote d'Ivoire, in the introduction to the second volume, Margeurite Abouet explains how she wants to present "a different view of Africa rather than the one we are usually shown. An Africa that is full of life, rather than sorrow". And she does exactly that. * Women in Translation, World Kid Lit blog *
The wild and wonderful Akissi is back with more mischievous adventures. From trips to Paris and attempts at writing poetry, these bite-sized stories are compiled into a hilarious, action packed compendium. * @pbooksblogger on Twitter *
