Wilde

Heartwarming, relatable and full of Jane Eyre. A charming read.

Isadora Cal

This is one of the most beautiful books I've ever read. I cried with joy, even though there is a sad tone.

Kim Tyo-Dickerson

A kind-eyed fox that appears during one night of particular misery, her copy of Jane Eyre, and an imagination that sees the magical in the ordinary all help outcast and lonely Hélène shut the mean girls DOWN.

Grace O'Callaghan

Jane the Fox and Me follows Helene as she navigates the world of school and mean girl bullies. They make fun of her weight and the fact she doesn’t have any friends. Helene is incredibly lonely but finds solace in Jane Eyre.

If you’re going to read this graphic novel, don’t read the goodreads synopsis, it completely spoils it. I went into it completely blind and that was the best way to go. Just following along with Helene’s journey.

My favourite thing about this was the artwork. It’s absolutely stunning. It’s kind of sketchy and in greys when we follow Helene. But when she’s reading Jane Eyre the lines are more precise and the images are colourful. This book is a really smart way of implementing different colours at different times to establish themes and tones.

I also loved the message behind this. It’s a simple enough story but I can see it meaning so much to younger readers. I’d say it’s for 10-14 year olds but anyone at any age can appreciate and enjoy this.

A beautifully illustrated book with a lovely message. I need to look into the artist more.

I’m glad it had a good ending and the illustrations were really cute. Books about bullying always make me sad and it’s hard to do them well. Bit of a tw for fatphobia.

What a quirky graphic novel, but such gorgeous art. I'm sort of surprised this is considered "children's" but the messages about bullying and staying yourself are awesome.

Helene is not free to hide from the taunts of her former friends in the corridors at school. She can't be invisible in the playground or in the stairways leading to art class. Insults are even scribbled on the walls of the toilet cubicles. When Helene's heart hammers in her chest as Genevieve snickers at the back of the bus, inventing nasty things to say about her, Helene dives into the pages of her book, 'Jane Eyre' by Charlotte Bronte. And, in the solace she finds there, Helene's own world becomes a little brighter. But how will the story end?
