Noise: A graphic novel based on a true story

Muy educativo

I ordered this for my 13 year old while on deployment overseas. I knew nothing about it or how short it was, lol if I had I may not have purchased it, because I honestly thought it was a novel. But I would have been wrong. I personally have not read it or seen it in person, but my daughter just messaged me that she received it, read it, cried and LOVED it! As a shy 13 year old who always wears headphones she said this “book” really spoke to her and was so happy I got it for her. I got like 5 “I love yous” in our text exchange about the book. So I consider it $10 well spent and am looking forward to reading it myself when I get home

To call this a novel is inaccurate. This is a pamphlet at best. This sat in my cart for a long time, as many books do, so I’m ready to go when my 4th grader is looking for something new to read or I want to surprise her. I was going to add this to her “summer reading basket” but I’m disappointed with the lack luster “novel” for the price.

The art is beautiful and the story is heartfelt. Great message of kindness. It is a great story for kids who love Smile or Best Friends. It is short and a little pricey for the length. I feel bad for taking a star off for that because it has more to do with the publisher’s description than the quality of the work.

What can I say my daughter really loves this book! She relates to the story and it has taught her some valuable concepts. So much so that it's inspired her to want to be a writer. After reading this book she has written 30 pages on her own (13 Years Old) it has had a big impact on her. If you have a teenage daughter or older maybe this is a great book I highly recommend!

My ten year old read this in about 2 mins. It’s very short. It’s a soft cover book almost like a pamphlet. Great story but short and overpriced

I can’t fault the novel. My 11 year old saw the cover and thought it was about noise. It’s not. It’s not. It’s about loss and is a very emotional book.

I have bought this product twice now and will continue to tell everyone how great it is. It’s durable, great price, and overall I am beyond impressed. Highly recommend

A sweet, deceptively deep, short graphic novel about generosity, friendship and how to not give up on love and friendship and ‘re-do’s. Highly recommend for 10-15 yr old and beyond. The pictures are clear and engaging.

Firstly, this book is great. You get to know the characters quickly through the use of basic tropes and personality types. This is good because the story does not last very long at all. I see people complaining that this is not a graphic novel but there in lies the rub. DC Comics coined the term Graphic Novel to describe any comic or compendium longer than the 22 page average. This was first used for The Killing Joke and soon became an industry standard, much to the chagrin of author Alan Moore.

A sweet short story which inspired my little one to write her own.

This is literally only 24 pages. It is not a novel and for the price it is really not worth the under 5 minute read.

A few pages long. Absolute rip off for £7. It pretty much went straight in the bin!
