Chiggers Review: A "Meaningful" Book for My Reading-Challenged Daughter - My 12-year old daughter was recently diagnosed with ADD and a learning disability. It seems she lacks a visual memory -- her comprehension (listening and reading) suffers because she can't "see in her mind" the narrative of a story or utilize mnemonic devices. Her doctor recommended to us that we try comics or graphic novels to help develop it. We're not readers of comics, and our daughter wasn't excited about reading them because she felt it would make her look dumb. On the advice of A Parent's Guide to the Best Kids' Comics: Choosing Titles Your Children Will Love , we bought "Chiggers". We're grateful to Hope Larson (author) and the write-up about this book in the Guide. "Chiggers" really spoke to my daughter directly as it captures so perfectly the intensity and chaos of young girls' emotions and relationships as they come of age. Its frank, realistic narrative is emotionally deep and literary in every sense and is enhanced by Larson's art. My daughter now wants to read all of Larson's work (which I've just purchased). We're grateful to Hope Larson for writing (and drawing) directly to our daughter in a way that she could readily experience and embrace her work, and for inspiring enthusiasm in her about reading. And we're grateful to A Parent's Guide to the Best Kids' Comics: Choosing Titles Your Children Will Love for recommending her work. Review: Hope for future generations - Hope Larson takes the cliche "a picture is worth 1,000 words" and brings it to stunning life in "Chiggers." The story is realistic, but touching, and young readers will receive a deep challenge of interpreting a mystical weave of incredible brush strokes. Readers of all ages can lose themselves in the intricate web of Hope Larson's brilliant art. Perhaps those who are not as interested in the deeper visual aspects of life will fail to notice the emotive content that lies within Chiggers' pages. But those who are in tune to the richness of content that graphic story telling offers are in for a treat. You can tell nervousness in brush strokes, and feel the characters' emotions visually as they are upset or angry. I have read some reviewers' problems with recognizing the characters, but I could tell each one apart. Perhaps a characters page in future printings could easily rectify this? I find them useful, even in extremely easy cases. One day, I will gladly hand "Chiggers" to my future children, and help them learn the richness of graphic storytelling. Until then, I will happily enjoy the book myself, even being far outside the target demographic. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #3,242,559 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #5,874 in Children's New Experiences Books #11,484 in Children's Comics & Graphic Novels (Books) #24,068 in Children's Friendship Books | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (46) | | Dimensions | 6 x 0.5 x 8 inches | | Edition | Illustrated | | Grade level | 5 - 9 | | ISBN-10 | 1416935878 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1416935872 | | Item Weight | 8.8 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 176 pages | | Publication date | June 17, 2008 | | Publisher | Atheneum Books for Young Readers | | Reading age | 9 - 12 years, from customers | ## Images ![Chiggers - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71kMoU6bLEL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A "Meaningful" Book for My Reading-Challenged Daughter *by D***B on May 30, 2012* My 12-year old daughter was recently diagnosed with ADD and a learning disability.
