Reviews

[Emily Anne · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was wonderful. The book illustrates the power of the law and what happens to everyone when the law is unfair. I'd always heard about the novella Unauthorized Bread, but never got around to reading it. This graphic novel version is more pages than the original, 240 vs. 112, but can be read in a single sitting. I also really love the idea that this will teach children about the problem and get them interested in possibly fixing it someday?
