Akissi: Tales of Mischief - Akissi (Paperback)

This is a colourful collection of stories presented in comic-strip form for an easy read with fun illustrations. Great for reluctant readers and new readers, too. Utterly unputdownable. Based on Abouet's childhood memories of growing up in the port town of Abidjan . . . the rapid-fire, action-packed tales are wild and antic. The colors are electric - purples, oranges, turquoises and bright yellows. Compiled from a bestselling comics franchise in France, this import captures the hilarious misadventures of a township girl as she rewrites the bounds of African girlhood one comical short story at a time.
