Waterstones Says

Inspired by Abouet's childhood in Côte d'Ivoire, the Akissi cartoons chronicle the loveably mischievous girl's misadventures as she gets into all manner of scrapes.

The three volumes of the Akissi series by critically acclaimed author Marguerite Abouet are collected in this first English edition.

Poor Akissi! The neighbourhood cats are trying to steal her fish, her little monkey Boubou almost ends up in a frying pan and she's nothing but a pest to her older brother Fofana... But Akissi is a true adventurer full of silliness and mischief, and nothing

will scare her for long!

MEDIA REVIEWS

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. - BookTrust

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. - Marjorie Ingall, The New York Times Book Review

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. - Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW
