Doodleville is predicated on a truly clever idea. Drew loves to draw. She draws everything that inspires her without inhibition. And from the time that she is very young, her drawings travel off the page and into the real world. She doesn't see this as a problem though, as the plot progresses, she realizes that other people see her drawings differently. As she begins to experience doubt, to be influenced by other people's negativity, those emotions warp her drawing. While this general plot progression seems pretty straightforward, it's eventual resolution is far more subtle, relying not only on teamwork but the integration of free thinking and restraint. The result is a sweet and affirming story with plenty of potential to grow in future volumes.
