Noise: A graphic novel based on a true story

I can’t fault the novel. My 11 year old saw the cover and thought it was about noise. It’s not. It’s not. It’s about loss and is a very emotional book.

I ordered this for my 13 year old while on deployment overseas. I knew nothing about it or how short it was, lol if I had I may not have purchased it, because I honestly thought it was a novel. But I would have been wrong. I personally have not read it or seen it in person, but my daughter just messaged me that she received it, read it, cried and LOVED it! As a shy 13 year old who always wears headphones she said this “book” really spoke to her and was so happy I got it for her. I got like 5 “I love yous” in our text exchange about the book. So I consider it $10 well spent and am looking forward to reading it myself when I get home

I was quite disappointed when this arrived, and I saw how short it was. As others have stated - calling this story a graphic novel is way off base. I did not read the reviews before ordering and was under the impression that it was a chapter book, as most graphic novels are. This book is the size of a beginning reader book you'd find in a preschool or kindergarten. The story itself is very brief and not well developed. Probably the only saving grace of this "novel" is that the art is good. It is definitely not worth the money.

The art is beautiful and the story is heartfelt. Great message of kindness. It is a great story for kids who love Smile or Best Friends. It is short and a little pricey for the length. I feel bad for taking a star off for that because it has more to do with the publisher’s description than the quality of the work.

I have bought this product twice now and will continue to tell everyone how great it is. It’s durable, great price, and overall I am beyond impressed. Highly recommend

My ten year old read this in about 2 mins. It’s very short. It’s a soft cover book almost like a pamphlet. Great story but short and overpriced

Short, graphic novel that my tween recommends

This is a short, but powerful elementary graphic book. Cathryn is a young girl who hates noise. On the first day of seventh grade, she meets fourth-grader Tyler on the bus. He is a very talkative young boy. He annoys her with all of his chatter and she yells at him. She feels bad for yelling at him and looks for him after school. You must read this book to see how kindness can make such a difference.

A few pages long. Absolute rip off for £7. It pretty much went straight in the bin!

Firstly, this book is great. You get to know the characters quickly through the use of basic tropes and personality types. This is good because the story does not last very long at all. I see people complaining that this is not a graphic novel but there in lies the rub. DC Comics coined the term Graphic Novel to describe any comic or compendium longer than the 22 page average. This was first used for The Killing Joke and soon became an industry standard, much to the chagrin of author Alan Moore.

A sweet short story which inspired my little one to write her own.

This is literally only 24 pages. It is not a novel and for the price it is really not worth the under 5 minute read.

Not worth the spend I engorged you to spend your money on something better it looked great the cover and drawing were great but the quality and it was increasingly small only 25 pages my daughter but a normal graphic novel next to it and you could see the difference also the book didn’t have much thought into it my daughter was incredibly disappointed ☹️ It was sweet but very rushed like the author hadn’t put much thought into it.
