I loved this! So much I shall use exclamations excessively to the point of being annoying!
Great concept, amazing art work, I couldn’t put it down! Explores some excellent moral dilemmas really well, I’m hoping this will be a series or there will be a spin off. The harrows are a fascinating subject I want to see more of.

The Harrowing is a great addition to any graphic novel section for the school library where readers are able to delve into morality through powers that teeter between what is right and what could be wrong. This book is a great conversation starter that can easily lead into a deep philosophical discussion with students and would good for a small book group or book club. I am anxious to revisit this book with students and hear their opinions on the characters and plot. The artwork helps guide the plot as it should in graphic novels and I know that in full color it will aid even more. Best for upper grades with some of the subject matter.

I enjoyed this graphic novel! The plot was easy to follow and I enjoyed the concept of the girls powers. I would have liked more world building around the school because it really feels like everything moves very quickly. Otherwise enjoyable and I know my middle schoolers would enjoy having a copy on my classroom shelf!

When a teen discovers that she has psychic powers she is tasked to hunt down potential killers...until she finds out that her best friend and the boy she is in love with is her next target. Rowan Sterling has always been different and she's wanted nothing more than to be a regular teen and go to college with her best friend, whom she might have a crush on.... yet she's been seeing strange and terrifying things ever time her hand touches someone. Rowan knows something is wrong with her and so her father sends her to a mysterious facility called Rosewood. At Rosewood, they'll train her along with other teens with special abilities, and her mother also went there before she was murdered. Rowan begins to use her ability to stop killers... yet is it ethical to treat these people and capture them if they haven't even done anything yet? She begins to question everything when she touches her best friend's hand and sees him shooting a man in cold blood. She firmly believes that Lucas isn't capable of doing something like that and will do anything to protect him. What is right and what is wrong? Can she save Lucas? This was a really unique and interesting story. The moral questions it brings up is really interesting and the story was so fun to go along with. The artwork is really nice and I loved how everything wrapped up!

The Harrowing is incredibly intense and beautifully illustrated. It was such a unique story and I found I couldn't put it down until I knew what happened. It dealt with sensitive topics in a very respectful way and I will definitely be recommending it to people when it comes out.
