The Runaway Princess
Johan Troïanowski
 |
One of Random House’s first children’s’ graphic novels
published under their new imprint: Random House Graphic Johan Troïanowski’s The
Runaway Princess is a delight with unexpected interactive elements.
Robin is a princess not content to stay home. Her
explorations of the surrounding areas lead to encounters with a wolf, pirates, and
a witch. Though Robin faces danger, she doesn’t do so alone with friends like
Omar, Paul, Matt, Lee, and even the reader there to help her find her way back
home. Troïanowski’s art accompanying the story is imaginative, odd, and a just
a little spooky. Each page is a wonder. Some
favorite images were the button spiders and floating fishbowls.
Though The Runaway Princess has a lot to recommend
itself what sets this graphic novel apart and made it engaging were the
interactive elements. Troïanowski includes activities during the story to
involve readers which allows them to be active participants like the characters.
Overall, a captivating graphic novel for those who
like adventure, hints of danger and magic, and want to feel a part of the story
they read.
Until
the next chapter,
Victoria .
