"Absolutely unforgettable! Will I See? addresses the topic of
violence against women with beauty and power. The black and white
images are realistic, but there is also a dreamlike quality to
them. Swaths of red add a dramatic flair, implying violence and
death. Will I See? has a strong emotional affect and is best suited
for teens and older readers."
*NetGalley*
"I would recommend this book to anyone who likes graphic novels
that are gritty, nonfiction, or emotional. Or to everyone, because
it's that good!"
*NetGalley*
Will I See? is a powerful, evocative story that is amplified
by visually stunning graphics. Through the eyes and actions of a
teenage girl who resides with her Nokomis in a large city, the
graphic novel speaks to the epidemic of Missing and Murdered
Indigenous Women and Girls in Canada.
