Isn't it strange how few children's graphic novels are published in a given year? This is one of those phenomena that defy the basic tenants of capitalism. The need, as anyone who has ever fielded reference questions from 10-year-olds will attest, is vast. Yet the product sputters out of publishing houses so sparsely and randomly that you can't help but be baffled. The only justification I can come up with is that graphic novels are bloody expensive to produce. That would certainly account for how many settle for single colors or black and white. Then there's the fact that they take forever to create. Even if a kid adores the first book in a series, if the art is really well done it could easily take an artist seven years to produce a sequel. Seven years is a long time if you're ten. Taking all of this into account, I am understandably wary when a new GN hits bookstore and library shelves and I feel my pulse pick up. Am I excited about this book because it is good or because it's a rarity? With Jane, the Fox & Me by Fanny Britt the answer is clear. I am excited about this book because this book is exciting. In the awe-inspiring sense, of course.
So many kids in school wish they weren't considered invisible. For Helene, the opposite is true. Everywhere she goes she runs into cruel comments about her weight or that she smells or equally childish accusations. Most of these are from the girls she used to hang out with, before they decided to suddenly make her into a pariah. Her only escape is a copy of Jane Eyre which she dives into at every available moment. When her class wins a special "treat" of going to a nature camp for four nights nothing could be more unwelcome.Read more ›

"Jane, the Fox, and Me" is a beautiful and poignant story of bullying, alienation and teen angst. This amazing graphic novel narrates the story of Hélène, a teenager who suddenly finds herself ostracized by girls who were once her friends. These ex-friends now label her fat and make fun of her, leaving Hélène feeling lonely and unsure of herself, seeking refuge in the classic novel, "Jane Eyre". In "Jane Eyre", Hélène finds escape from the despairs of her reality, seeking inspiration in the titular character of her favorite novel - the strong, slender, intelligent Jane Eyre. When Hélène learns her class is about to go on a camping field trip, she reacts with fear and horror, but her experiences at the camp just might help her discover hope and friendship.
The illustrations are simply amazing and convey all the typical feelings associated with adolescence - embarrassment, loneliness, fear, and alienation. The story does not shrink away from portraying bullying in all its ugliness; bullying is depicted as something insidious that creeps into the victim's life and wreaks havoc. Hélène's story alternates between that of Hélène's favorite story, "Jane Eyre", and the distinction is conveyed via the use of colors - dark and grey for Hélène's story, and bold, vivid colors for "Jane Eyre", although by the final few pages, Hélène's story has undergone a transformation and is realized in full color as well. I think this graphic novel addresses the subject matter in a subtle and symbolic manner and I would recommend this as a must-read, especially for adolescents, and as a resource for school and public libraries.

This book is just amazing. I have two pre-teen step children (fraternal twins) and find myself loathing their introduction to middle school, make up, intelligence, etc, etc, etc, etc. I bought this book for one of them and read it before wrapping it up, taking me about 15 minutes to do. Then I thought about it every day for days upon days. A book that appears to be so simple, that packs what I understand to be a very loaded and complex message about fitting in, self acceptance, self image and perceptions in general.
I still hate middle school.

Just a delightful book on so many levels. You don't have to be a fan of JANE EYRE to "get" this story about a little girl who is bullied and who feels alone in the world. She escapes into the world of her favorite book by Charlotte Bronte, JANE EYRE. It is the quiet, but strong little governess who seems to help Helene get through her tough times at school. And at last, the introduction of a true friend begins to pull her out of her shadowy world. The illustrations are beautifully luminious and the reader is taken back and forth into Helene's world and that of Jane and then, there's the magical fox who appears so unexpectedly... People are often put off if you say "Graphic Novel", but this is a beautiful story. This is the kind of book that teachers should share with students and it is a book that will insure all sorts of good discussions about belonging, self image, bullying and breaking through.

Gorgeous. Gorgeous. Gorgeous. That's really all that needs to be said, in my opinion. But the wonderful message it carries for young women who find themselves unable to 'fit in', is worth noting. While this type of story certainly isn't new, the way the author weaves in her love for a particular piece of classic literature (Jane Eyre), is novel and intriguing. I found myself borrowing it from my pre-teen daughter, to whom I'd given it as a gift. My hope is that this book will become something of a family heirloom. It's really that gorgeous.
