Being an outcast at school is very hard. Moreover, it is at school age that you most want to be part of something big, a member of a big group, a team... to feel that “together you are strong!”. But not everyone can be part of this team.
Unfortunately, understanding how someone who is teased feels comes much later, in 10-15 years. But this does not mean that it is impossible to try to convey this information.
For example, with the book “Jane, the Fox and Me”. It just talks about a girl who became the object of ridicule, about the birth of complexes in this girl, under the influence of her classmates' opinions about her, and about believing in a miracle, that one day this will change.
And a miracle, of course, happens: first she meets a fox: real, alive and not at the zoo! And then she finds a new girlfriend who certainly won't tease and offend her.
The book “Jane, the Fox and Me” is a graphic novel that incredibly accurately conveys the emotions experienced by the characters at different points in the story, reveals their characters, opinions about themselves and others.
A girl who bears the ridicule of her classmates very hard and considers herself a thick sausage, whose main happiness is to bury herself in her favorite book and try to forget that the real world even exists. Her mother, tired of life, but incredibly in love with her daughter, is ready to sit at the sewing machine all night long so that her daughter has the dress she dreams of. Kids (teenagers?) , who think they are incredibly witty, enjoy humiliating others. A strong girl who is not afraid to go against the majority, against the main “stars”, thanks to whom the life of the main character changes radically.
The book is very good, and I think it should be presented to all students, without exception, at the assembly line on September 1. So that when they get home and read this book, they think about which camp they would like to go to.
The book is equally good both for outcasts and for those who create these outcasts. It will be the first to help you gain confidence in yourself, to understand that society is not always adequate in relation to individuals, that you should not focus on others, you just have to be yourself. And then, one day, life will surely be painted bright.
Secondly, it would be nice to look at yourself from the outside and think about whether they are so cool if they allow themselves to humiliate other people.
In short, the book is good for everyone. Without exception.
Besides, she's very pretty. Isabelle Arseno's illustrations are beyond praise. And how accurately they capture what's going on in the book! The gray, black and white world of a girl who is not accepted by her peers that turns into color as soon as she opens her favorite book. And in the end, these two worlds finally mix, and her real world is also filled with bright colors.

Do you love graphic novels as much as I do?
Even if you don't love me, I'm sure you'll be smiling and sad with Helen, and her story will surely find a place in your heart. At school age, we all faced situations when the world was losing its colors and regaining its colors.
Jane, Lisa and Me is an honest, personal, beautiful, sad and ironic book at the same time. Helen knows how to laugh at herself in the most difficult moments. She also knows how to fantasize, think and fight.
The first turn is a grey schoolyard that looks like a single-inmate prison. You can't hide from ridicule, run away or run away. The end of the school year is two months away, “a miserable, insignificant eternity”.
But Helen and her torturers used to be friends and dreamed of crinoline dresses more than anything else in the world. Now Helen has one too - her mother made it at night after a long hard day. But what does the girl who most wants to become invisible need a crinoline dress?
And then, to top it all off, the whole class goes to a summer language camp, camping, bonfires, all that stuff. 39 people are jubilant, and the fortieth, Helen, is terrified walking around the mall looking for a swimsuit that is not too small for her.
Of course, things will change. Luckily for Helen and to the readers' relief. Jane Eyre will save you by taking you to her own pages, there will be a wonderful fox in the hated camp, and Geraldine will also appear there. And common sense will tell you that they don't have to write the truth about you on the toilet doors.
But even after the happy ending, I'm a little worried that Nina will start school in two years. I already spend hours on the Internet reading reviews about all the schools in the district, and I'm getting worse and worse. Schoolchildren's brief remarks on the forums are especially optimistic: “Try to survive!. People came up with flying toys and virtual pets, laser swords like Jedi and dancing dolls for children. Why didn't they come up with protective suits that fly off without causing harm, ridicule, bullying and harshness?
No, I'm not in a bad mood, I'm optimistic, but I still have anxiety. We can only hope that the children will cope with all the bad things themselves, if any. And we'll be there for them.
