Notes from a teacher-reader
Sci-fi bande dessinée has total of 44 pages published in the 70s but because it's sci-fi you don't realize its age.
Novel is composed of journal/diary entries
Classroom Use:
No symbolism or reading between the lines required.
Language level is difficult however plotline more targeted towards a middle school audience
Would be perfect for classroom library
Hook: High action, sci-fi, similar to the animé our students love!
