Excellent graphic novel.

I recently adopted a senior dog and this book was adorable to read.

"They expected girls to be nice
and obey the rules.
They expected girls to be silent
and swallow punishment and pain.

She was cast out from society
because she loved a married man.
Her friends reviled her.
Her father banished her from his home.

But she did not hide.
she was not silenced.
She fought against the cruelty of human nature
by writing.

While the title is self explanatory this book is delightful for anyone who loves Jurassic Park and Monty Python. Lots of action, dinosaurs, and quirky one liners.

“I wish...” she said, and stopped. There was nothing that could be gained by wishing for it. A final deep shaky breath, and she was ready to go on."

“But you cannot change what you are, only what you do.”

"Mrs. Spencer had banned my favorite book because she thought it would encourage kids to lie, steal, and be disrespectful to adults, and I had done all of those things. But it wasn't any book that made me do all that; it was the banning a book that made me lie, steal, and be disrespectful to adults. I thought it was pretty funny; and thought about saying so to my parents."
