Trial by Journal

A children's book (a graphic novel? a picture book?) by the same team of author and illustrator who wrote Regarding the Fountain, Trial by Journal is the story of a twelve-year-old who is chosen for a jury and is asked by her teacher to keep a journal of the experience. Like Regarding the Fountain, the charm of the book is as much in the clever way the illustrator uses pictures to add depth to the text of the story as it is in the story itself.
