Industry Reviews

"A powerful and honest story that goes to places other, more sanitized narratives, do not. It is an important book." - Mike Donachie, Toronto Star

"A warm, endearing story, skillfully tackling serious themes while also telling a lighthearted tale about a boy and his love for slugs. The hospital can be a scary place for a young person, A Slug Story will resonate with those who are or have been in a similar situation, and help process their experiences." - Stephanie Cooke, Oh My Gods & ParaNorthern

"A Slug Story is a touching novel about coping with a serious illness... The illustrations are vibrant and evocative. They complement the narrative and help readers imagine the "angel wings" that Marcus and Emily see as they try to deal with serious brain dysfunction. An uplifting graphic novel about a young man who struggles to fit in with his peers. Concepts of friendship, courage, and kindness are highlighted because, "Kindness is actual magic." 5/5 stars." - Myra Junyk, Canadian Materials
