Graphic novel spotlight - Ash's Cabin

 

Ash's Cabin by Jen Wang

If you are the sort of reader who loved Hatchet or My Side of the Mountain, then Ash's Cabin is the book for you. The resemblance to the latter book is stronger since Ash chooses to go off the grid and live a spare existence rather than being thrust into a survival situation. We walk through Ash's whole journey - what motivates them to leave, the preparations they make, and the difficulties they encounter. This is a deeply introspective story and that nature is reflected in the delicate illustrations and muted color palette. As a whole, it balances text and images well to tell a complete story.
