Anyone who has ever dreamed of being a war hero should read Blindspots by artist and writer Kyle C. Plye. Blindspots is a graphic novel aimed towards young adolescent boys. The story is about a boy named Dean and his three best friends. Together, the boys take on many adventures including playing a game where they fantasize about being soldiers. Unfortunately Dean doesn’t just keep his fantasy game with his friends in the woods; he also brings in to his school. Dean ends up getting in trouble for his inappropriate behavior. School isn’t the only thing that Dean begins having problems with, but also his friends loose interest in his solider games. Dean’s friends start becoming more interested in girls then playing war with Dean. Luckily Dean is able to break away from being trapped in this war fantasy. By the end of the novel, Dean realizes his behavior and gets a fresh start at a new school when his dad is forced to move because of business.
The book reminds readers of the lives of young boys and takes readers into the life of a young military buff named Dean. The illustrations in this book make the story come alive even more; the pictures correspond to the actions on each page. I recommend this book in particularly to teen boys who are interested in war themed novels!
