Review: HOW TO DRAW A SECRET by Cindy Chang

 


Filled with cute and colorful illustrations, this graphic novel tells the story of a young artist with the assignment of what family means to her. Some of the text was hard to read, but the pictures told the story pretty well.

 

The death of her grandma sends her and her family to Taiwan for a funeral. Foreign whispering has Cindy wondering about a family secret. What secret? Finding out that your dad cheated on your mom and had a son? Wow, no one could’ve been prepared for that one. Cindy realized that her family was a total lie! The family arguments were pretty intense, and all her feelings were drawn in her sketchbook. Soon, Cindy realized that families aren’t perfect and that they can be different.

 

A good read!
