Book Review: This Was Our Pact / Ryan Andrews

It was the night of the Fall Equinox. The whole town gets together and lights lanterns which they float down the river. Each year a bunch of boys have wanted to see what really happens to the lanterns? Do they in fact become the stars in the Milky Way?

The boys have made a pact - No one turns for home, no one looks back. But slowly the boys drop out of their mission until there are only two left, and one of them is the town nerd, the guy no one wants to be seen with. 

On their trip they encounter some interesting characters, a bit of magic, and some unexected truths.

This graphic novel was a happy surprise. It connects to origin stories, science, friendship, and magic. Here you will find the gifts that are in each of us. I especially loved the connections to the milky way and to the stars and constellations.

Enjoy!
