Chaton adore les BD. On se régale actuellement avec Bergères Guerrières, de Jonathan Garnier et Amélie Fléchais.

Quelque part (la lande irlandaise ?), il y a longtemps (au Moyen-Age ?), un village a créé un ordre féminin de guerrières car les hommes sont partis à la guerre. Molly, l’héroïne rousse, rêve d’aventures et s’applique à devenir digne de cet ordre, avec du courage et une langue bien pendue.

J’adore l’ambiance créée par les dessins d’Amélie Fléchais et l’atmosphère mystérieuse peuplée de sorciers, de femmes courageuses, un brin teigneuses. Le tout, mené à un rythme trépidant, et avec un langage complètement actuel et haut en couleurs.

Une BD divertissante et féministe.

PS : bonne année à tous !

The Lost Path by Amélie Fléchais

QUICK SUMMARY

Three boys on a treasure hunt take a shortcut and end up in an unfriendly forest, full of magical creatures and a dangerous conflict of power.

REVIEW

★ ★ ★ ★ ☆ ¦ 4 STARS

The illustrations in this book were as gorgeous as the ones in the previous one, stunning full-colour pages of magical forest scenery alongside black-and-white illustrations full of character, full of tiny details that tell a story all on their own. This book also had superhero comic book style illustrations from the point of view of the youngest boy who thinks he's a super robot, which was really fun to read. The characters were all vivid and interesting in the little time we had with each, but I just wish the story could have been longer and more fleshed out; the hints of the deeper story given were really interesting, but no resolution was given.

A hauntingly beautiful story of a fairytale flipped on its head, what really makes this book stand out is the stunning illustrations that span every page, full of vibrant colour and adding richness to a story that captivates you despite its short length.

I want to share a secret: I love fairy tales. I’ve always loved them. As a child these were my favorites because the same stories were seemingly told nearly all over the world in different versions in different cultures. For example while Cinderella was written by Charles Perrault in 1697, there is a Chinese version with a heroine named Yeh-Shen, written perhaps in 850 A.D.?

Little Riding Hood, also written by Charles Perrault, is an European fairy tale that I loved because of the visual of the main character and her red hooded cloak. I always found that image to invoke bravery in me for some reason, perhaps how a child might see Superman’s cape or some other noteworthy item that sets a favorite character apart. I’ve studied adaptations where character roles were reversed or retellings where compromise was the key. To be honest though, I’ve been known to root for the wolf, go figure.

            Each page is lovingly created to serve as a door that takes us to some far off place where we’re not sure if we want to leave. The art we see is vast, almost limitless and intricate — showing, us a place with eyes we’ve never seen. It’s magical. There are plenty of full page spreads showcasing the woods in all their glory. There are moments where emotions like Little Red’s fear are on full on blast for us to see.
