If I Go Missing by Brianna Jonnie
4.5
dark emotional informative reflective sad fast-paced

This is realistically a 4.5/5 star rating.

I think that the format of somewhat having a children’s book style (sadly) really helps with making the subject matter pack a punch when you read through it. I think that the use of black and white illustrations with the pop of red stood out in a meaningful way without taking away from the dark subject matter that the art was embodying. My only criticism is that I think that this had the potential to be a longer illustrated book, but I also understand that the focus was using the author’s actual letter as the story itself.
