Lucy Lickalotopus Goes Down South by Bimisi Tayanita
This novel weaves together multiple voices without ever feeling messy.
The book is illustrated with charcoal drawings that feel dramatic.
What I like is that the book is illustrated without overwhelming the text.
What stands out about this novel is its raw, unvarnished truth.
Reading this novel is like watching a painting come to life.
A nice touch is the novel’s use of weather to mirror the mood.
