★第21屆「十本好讀」小學組候選書籍

美麗而獨特的寫實傳記X別具藝術風格的科普繪本

  瓊安.普洛克特從小就對兩棲爬蟲動物特別著迷,
  陪扮瓊安長大的不是洋娃娃,而是滑溜溜又全身長滿鱗片的蜥蜴,
  瓊安甚至在十六歲生日時,得到一隻鱷魚寶寶作為生日禮物。
  長大後的瓊安,最初在大英博物館的分館——自然歷史博物館的爬蟲與魚類館工作,後來成為倫敦動物園的首位女性爬行動物館長,更成為全球著名的英國動物學家。

  透過生動的文字和明亮的插畫,科學家兼作家派翠西亞和插畫家費里希妲完美呈現出瓊安對於動物的熱情,和鼓舞人心的經歷。圖文並茂的描繪了這位科學界女性先行者的故事,她不但在當時轟動了全世界,也為後來世界各地女性動物學者鋪了一條平坦的路徑。

  這不僅是一本名人傳記繪本,更是一部以熱情撰寫的生命教育繪本。

本書特色

  ☆以恆心和熱情點燃生命的亮點☆

  在瓊安.普洛克特短暫的一生中,她盡己所能的付諸自己的熱情與心力在自己所愛的動物上,追尋著自己堅持的目標,不畏懼他人的眼光,不在乎世俗的言論。即使身體被病痛所折磨而中斷學業,瓊安仍堅持自己的研究,甚至還撰寫發表了許多相關的文獻,最終成為一名傑出的兩棲爬行動物學家,並深受科學界的愛戴和尊重。

  ★親人的支持是追尋夢想的最佳助力★
  當一般的小女孩獲得洋娃娃做為生日禮物的同時,瓊安卻獲得了一隻鱷魚寶寶做為生日禮物,這在當時是多麼不可思議的一件事啊!或許瓊安對爬蟲動物的熱情與摯愛,也脫離不了親人的理解與支持。在追尋夢想的里程上,沒有人是一帆風順的,但來自親人的理解與支持,將是最好的助力,能支撐自己走得更長更遠。

  ☆適合孩子也適合大人的繪本☆
  在孩子閱讀此書後,父母可以帶著孩子共同思考自己生命的亮點,尋找能讓自己快樂又喜歡的事,並且創造屬於自己的幸福。而成人在閱讀此書的時候,也不妨想想我們在追尋夢想的道路上,是否如同瓊安一般,堅持燃燒自己的熱情,不畏懼他人言論,並且努力不懈。因此,這本書適合任何年齡的讀者,適合想找到自己生命中光亮的讀者,它將幫助我們成就專屬於自己的一片風景。

  ★作者與繪者的完美結合★
  科學、女性、爬蟲是三個乍看之下毫無關係的單詞,卻在這本繪本裡,做了最完美的融合。作者以簡明暢快略帶趣味的書寫風格,將瓊安的一生娓娓道來;而繪者以鮮明的色彩和美麗的圖騰詮釋書中的爬蟲動物們,將動物的肢體描繪得栩栩如生,卻又帶著獨特的藝術風格,可以說在科學繪圖與藝術詮釋上做出了完美的結合。作者與繪者的合作為我們帶來了一本美麗而獨特的寫實傳記,更是一本具有藝術風格的科普繪本。

  從小看見爬蟲類就會遠遠避走,所以對瓊安.普洛克特佩服得五體投地,向出版社主編毛遂自薦翻譯這本書(雖然看見書裡畫的爬蟲類還是有點毛毛的)。喜歡跟小孩說故事,也喜歡為他們譯、寫童書,更喜歡和他們沒大沒小的打打鬧鬧,只要他們不抓著小蜥蜴來嚇人就好。

Please keep Kelly Thompson away from G.I. Joe!
Format: Paperback
I only read this because it was one of the mini series that was setting up the new Energon Universe of GI Joe. The other minis were quite good and I hoped this one would be the same. Nope. It’s terrible. Terrible dialogue, terrible characterization and terrible reimagining of several popular characters. The plot is bare bones, poorly executed, and often so contrived and cliched I'm convinced Thompson must have watched a bunch of ninja movies from the 80s before writing this and thought she was being clever for ripping them off. The art is passable but the artist definitely needs to work on his fight choreography and stop drawing women so jacked. Scarlett and Jinx look like they have been taking steroids. And let’s not forget that Thompson loves writing lesbians, so it’s heavily implied Scarlett and Jinx are a couple. Because that’s what modern audiences want to see, more historically hetero characters made gay. Thompson, like Tom King, needs to be kept far away from popular characters and just stick to creating her own original stories where she can work out her issues and fetishes away from the rest of the mainstream comic reading public. And if I ever see her name on another G.I. Joe comic I will most definitely avoid it like the plague. Just my two cents.

Avatar is about reflecting real world issues, and this comic does not disappoint
Format: Paperback
I will admit that at first, I was disappointed that Turf Wars portrayed homophobia in the Avatar verse. My thought was that if this is a fictional world, why not just have homophobia not exist. But Avatar has always been about reflecting real world issues, and this comic handles those issues in a way that felt honest and close to home. It didn't feel like it was using homophobia to exploit the LGBT characters for drama. As a lesbian, I felt that I could relate deeply to the obstacles that Korra and Asami face while entering their relationship, and dealing with coming out. My girlfriend and I both come from conservative families, so it was important early on to communicate coming out boundaries with each other. When Asami hesitates toward immediately coming out to Korra's parents, this isn't portrayed as a negative thing, just that it's important for Korra and Asami to communicate about this. Another thing I loved was the look that Kya gives Korra and Asami, and how she's immediately able to recognize that they're in a relationship. I love that she becomes a support for them, and they have an LGBT mentor in their lives. That's what makes this comic special, to me. This doesn't just realistically portray an LGBT romantic relationship, it also portrays LGBT community, which I find is far rarer in media. It's virtually non-existent in children's media. The only other example I can think of is an episode of Danger & Eggs which features a pride parade. The media landscape is starved for healthy, realistic, and nuanced portrayals of LGBT couples, but what I hardly ever see is LBGT community and culture shown on top of that. I believe there is room in media for both fiction where homophobia doesn't exists, and fiction where it's portrayed with realism without exploitation. In these cases, it's important to show LGBT characters facing these struggles by finding community with each other. Connection through community is powerful. I don't know who I'd be if I didn't grow up without LGBT friends supporting me and guiding me throughout my coming out process. Seeing a comic portray that process is beautiful, and I hope that's the direction the creative world continues to go in. The art is gorgeous, and the story feels like a natural continuation of the television series. When I read the dialogue, I can hear the character's voices in my mind as if I were watching another episode. I'm excited to learn more about the Avatar universe, and watch Korra, Asami, and all the other characters continue to grow and develop with each other.

I expected it to be good, but instead it's great.
Format: Paperback
A surprisingly re-readable little book. I really look forward to part 2! WRITING: Feels like a true continuation of the show. The characters and the world are just like a Season 5, Episode 1 might have been. Mako and Bolin were great together. Korra and Asami were great together. Of the supporting characters, I was glad to see Tenzin and Lin, and a little sad not to see Varrick or Wu. (Maybe they will fit naturally into the plot somewhere in book 2 or 3 of this series? If not, that's okay. It's better for writing to make sense than to have cameos.) ART: Wow. Just the right amount of additional detail for the comic format. I love the clarity of these panels and the camera shots chosen for them. How each character feels shows in their face and body. How a fight scene unfolds can be seen--you can actually tell what the characters do when they fight. It's wonderful. (I'm a bit of a fight scene enthusiast.) Also, the spirit world was whimsical and gorgeous to behold. Nice variety of lush color palettes for each scene. The new characters have distinctive faces, and the new villain has very cool-looking weapons.

It's been three years.
Format: Paperback
This was a great read! It felt like I was actually watching an episode of Korra while flipping through this. Michael DiMartino did a good job at making the dialougue sound like it could've been part of a Korra script. Of course the plot isn't going to be too dramatic since poor Korra already dealt with most of the worst situations ever in the show. The tone is much calmer, with much of the comic's focus being on Korra and Asami's budding relationship and a realistic conflict involving a greedy businessman wanting to turn the spirit portal into a tourist attraction. This comic is very much a suitable continuation of the show. Irene Koh's art is so beautiful!! I love how it's not the typical children's comic cartoony style. I've heard that people have actually been complaining about how it's so different from the show's original style, but I personally think it's fitting and very charming. It gives it a more mature feel. My main complaint is that it's too short. It took nearly three years after the finale for this comic to be released and it's only 80 pages! And the next part isn't going to be released until January! I guess me and other Korra fans are just going to have to stay patient for another 6 months or so.
