A timely and thoughtful graphic novel about war, with glorious colour artwork throughout for children of all ages - from Eoin Colfer, previously Irish Children's Laureate, and the team behind Illegal, Global, and the bestselling Artemis Fowl graphic novels.
WAR is set in an unnamed city in an unnamed country. It tells the story of Kat, a fourteen-year-old graffiti artist who finds her life turned upside down when her home city is invaded. When her father is taken and held without charge by the invading forces, Kat chooses not to flee with her mother and little sister, instead sneaking off to remain in the city and try to rescue her dad. Also featured is Adam, a young conscript who struggles to understand why he is being made to fight.
With additional content that puts the main story into a wider context - including illustrated comic-style interviews with refugees.

This was wonderful!
A really hard read, but an oh so powerful one too. I found it extremely compelling reading a child's point of view of the invasion of her city.
This feels like a graphic novel that would be perfect for year 6 up and could provoke some excellent discussions.

Woah was this impactful. I don’t know what I was expecting when I picked this up but it blew it out of the water. It was thought provoking, compelling and so well written. I’m not much of a comic book reader but every now and again I dip into them. I’m always amazed by the artistry in them and this one was executed so well. It’s well worth a read.
