My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The Altered History of Willow Sparks is a magnificent coming of age graphic novel. A lot of teens experiencing low self-esteem: whether they are pretty enough, funny, cool, amazing, brilliant or stylish. Whether a teen or not, sometimes we wish that we could be a much better version of our self, and that's what happened to Willow.
Because of an accident in the library that Willow works for, she discovered a secret part of the library where unusual books are stored. This is where she got her hands into a book that is named after her; she discovered that she can change her life by writing what she wishes to happen in the said book. Willow's life improved, from her outer appearance up to being accepted by others. However, nothing comes for free so there was a price to pay for all of these changes.
Willow's story is undeniably a great and entertaining tale that a lot of people could relate to. Reading this graphic novel will enlighten readers about a lot of things especially about the value of friendship, loving oneself, being confident, honest, and not trying to fit in just to be accepted.
