Otto: a Palindrama by Jon Agee - ESSENTIAL

Otto: a Palindrama by Jon Agee
, 141 pages. GRAPHIC NOVEL. Graphic (Penguin), 2021. $18. 

BUYING ADVISORY: EL, MS - ESSENTIAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH 

Otto has been called to dinner – but his imagination gets lost in a grand adventure story. 

Agee tells his story completely in palindromes – even the signage. While sometimes it makes the dialogue a bit awkward, the palindrome scheme is so amazing, I can’t fault that. A fun visual adventure and a fun read.
