Neil Clark: Solo, Gebunden

Klappentext

Outside she is a shy little girl, but inside are magic worlds and rocket submarines. Discover the power of the introvert.

It's fun to be part of a busy, whizzy crowd. Sometimes, when things are noisy, do you long for the space and quiet that lets your imagination flow? Get ready for Solo to take you on an adventure where we discover being alone is not the same as being lonely, and you should not judge an introvert by her cover!

We can guess Solo is an introvert through her name, but you can see from her bright yellow coat that she's also strong and independent. She isn't lonely: she enjoys being alone. Jesse is a classic extrovert who immediately asks Solo to play, but he also has emotional intelligence, working out quickly that Solo is overwhelmed. When he finds her again, they create a special place where the two are friends who perfectly compliment each other.

Clark uses colour and shape to perfectly express the complexity of each character and show us the story instead of just telling.
