Everything is Flammable

Someone on the back of this book describes it as a “raw nerve” and could not agree more. I found myself getting anxious while reading this and had to put it down. That's not to say it's not awesome and interesting, it totally is! Bell's mom lives off-grid and this is the story of how she rebuilds after a fire. I had a hard time with the treatment of the animals in the book, Ghost Cats especially kind of ripped my heart out and stomped it into the floor. I will never understand animal cruelty.

I want to read more of Bell's work.
That said, I have one big negative about the book and it has everything to do with the construction of it. The panels were too small. There were times when I found myself removing my glasses and squinting at the print. They should have made the panels larger or the book itself larger or something.
