The Grandest Garden was a lovely journey and a discovery of Gina L. Carroll’s world building. It is her debut novel, and I highly recommend you to check it out if you love reading stories with well-developed characters. There are a lot of things happening in this book, but what I mostly retain is the author ‘s love letter to art, African American artists in particular.

This graphic novel is a sweet and fun read, but sharing a difficult theme : bullying. From the difficulty to adapt to a new place and a new school , to the spread of rumors, this story gives an interesting input on the emotions and difficulties met by a newcomer. I also found it interesting how the book explores what popularity and the fear of rejection can lead people to do.
