I didn't see his denial to be described "a bullying-victim" as a sign of cowardliness, because it takes a great deal of courage and strength to view yourself as responsible of your actions. I was moved by his innocence which made him unwilling to see the ugly face of the others who bullied or ignored him. But here the author-also a woman □-chose "Jensen" a 13 years "fat" old boy whose dreamy and peaceful character makes him an easy target for bullies. As the graphic novels market is mainly dominated by women, we always find girls as the main characters. What first caught my attention was featuring a boy as a main character. Having read plenty of graphic novels about that topic, I find that one stands out as one of the most graphic novels that touched my heart. Bullying became the favorite theme for most preteen or YA books.
