[Re]Start It's Never Too Late by James Pattinson, Julia Cockerham, Latreya Nelson and Eddy Nicholls

-

 A fascinating novel that includes real-life experiences and something new on every page!  

[Re]Start It's Never Too Late is a fantastic graphic novel full of guidance on how to become confident and resilient. In particular, it encourages to follow your dreams and think creatively or differently. This book helps you to pick up extra tips and new ideas for you to help yourself flourish better. This spectacular novel includes the experiences of 7 characters who come from a variety of backgrounds as they overcome problems in their lives. It is organised into six large chapters which go over the stages of handling many obstacles in life. From anxiety to managing family expectations this guide is like a journal where you can scribble down your honest reflections of this world. 

While studying alone in a new country, Andi struggles from grippling anxiety. Whereas others are bound from family expectations or responsibilities and often find themselves alone. Whether that is from a dysfunctional family or guilt from the pressure of their parents sacrifices. Some cope with the issues of social media and their body image. As they come together from a range of difficulties, they learn to deal with them throughout their life journeys. I love how occasionally this book includes quotes from inspirational role models who remind readers that it is never too late to start or restart their journeys. 

The comic book style is extremely illustrative and eye-catching. This gives the reader a chance to explore from their mindset. There are several opportunities to take a note down and use this book as a guided journal. If you would love to read a narrative graphic novel with lessons to be learnt at every chapter, I would love to recommend this book to you!

Thanks to Rachel from Rachel random resource and Author Elizabeth Jade to provide me with a copy of "Akea His Mother’s Son" which I really loved reading. Blurb Akea is no ordinary husky and taking her place as Wolf Queen was just the first step in the journey set out for her by the Great Wolf. Akea's world turns upside down when humans raid their home, scattering the pack and capturing her hybrid son. Salvador struggles to adjust to a life in captivity quickly realising not everyone approves of his mother's rise to Wolf Queen. When the Great Wolf sends him warning dreams, Salvador discovers his true purpose for being there. “Ms Jade perfectly captures the atmosphere of life as part of the wolfpack and its many challenges. Her stories remind me of Jack London’s Call of the Wild, and with ‘His Mother’s Son’ she proves she not only has a knack for creating realistic and powerful characters, but a talent for describing the wild settings they inhabit with a natural con...
