Very interesting graphic novel, that appears to be about a girl who is mostly stuck at home with an overactive imagination, but turns out to really be able something else-- an illness that Harriet is still trying to adjust her live to.
The story is a little overly simplistic, and parts of the story to always match, but this is definitely an unique and thoughtful work.
