H幨鋝e has been inexplicably ostracized by the girls who were once her friends. Her school life is full of whispers and lies ? H幨鋝e weighs 216; she smells like BO. Her loving mother is too tired to be any help. Fortunately, H幨鋝e has one consolation, Charlotte Bronte Jane Eyre. H幨鋝e identifies strongly with Jane tribulations, and when she is lost in the pages of this wonderful book, she is able to ignore her tormentors. But when H幨鋝e is humiliated on a class trip in front of her entire grade, she needs more than a fictional character to allow her to see herself as a person deserving of laughter and friendship.Leaving the outcasts?tent one night, H幨鋝e encounters a fox, a beautiful creature with whom she shares a moment of connection. But when Suzanne Lipsky frightens the fox away, insisting that it must be rabid, H幨鋝e despair becomes even more pronounced: now she believes that only a diseased and dangerous creature would ever voluntarily approach her. But then a new girl joins the outcasts?circle, G廨aldine, who does not even appear to notice that she is in danger of becoming an outcast herself. And before long H幨鋝e realizes that the less time she spends worrying about what the other girls say is wrong with her, the more able she is to believe that there is nothing wrong at all.This emotionally honest and visually stunning graphic novel reveals the casual brutality of which children are capable, but also assures readers that redemption can be found through connecting with another, whether the other is a friend, a fictional character or even, amazingly, a fox.
