Sarah's Dream is the first book in the Grémillet Sisters graphic novel series., Sisters always have their issues but these sisters have it particularly hard because they are so different. One is haunted by recurring dreams, one seems like she is always daydreaming and the last seems to just be content living life with her cat alone, The sisters must get past their differences and work together when they find a mysterious photo of their mother, She is pregnant but they don't know who the baby is, or where it was taken or why it was hidden in the attic in the first place. The must unravel the Grémillet family history to discover some things they never knew.

 I loved the art work in this book. I  kept finding more and more the closer I looked. I wish the story had more magical elements. All in all it was a great tale of relationships and mystery.

An utterly adorable book. The Gremillet Sisters is a heartwarming story that is told with glorious eye-catching artwork. As a fan of Pixar and Studio Ghibli its lovely to read something that captures the same sense of adventure and emotional heft. Di Gregorio script does not treat the reader like an idiot. This is perhaps a more mature story than the initial impression of the artwork might lead you to believe. There is something here for both children and adults. I really enjoyed the interplay between Sarah, Cassiopeia, and, Lucille. The sibling rivalry as the sisters' jockey for status and petty annoyances they inflict on each other is played both for laughs and dramatic purposes. There are hints of larger supernatural elements in the world of the story that were handled deftly. The core of themes of the novel though are memories, family secrets, and, what effect that hidden trauma has on loved ones when it is exposed. 

Part Goonies with its mystery and detective elements and part My Neighbour Totoro with its fantastical creature designs and exploration of sisterhood deftly manages to blend moments of danger with moments of tenderness.

The dialogue is not as sharp as the art, and that does make me wonder if something was lost in translation. Also, at points, the pace does lag. However, these are minor quibbles Di Gregorio, and Barbuhave created a charming novel with a cast of characters that are memorable and who I, for one, would love to see more of.

I honestly grabbed this ARC on a whim, and boy am I glad I did! This graphic novel is just what 2020 needs. It's light hearted, fun and the artwork is bright and eye catching. Plus, the novel is filled to the brim with cats, which only makes me like it more. I found the sibling interactions to be chaotic and so very true to life. If you're looking for a fun adventure the be immersed in for an hour or so, grab this book! I look forward to more from the author and artist.

I was very excited about the publication of this graphic novel, because the artist is the one who illustrated the story of "THE W. I. T. C. H." by Elisabetta Gnone. I thought it would be a fantasy story, but it goes much further. It is a family story and full of hope. Looking forward to reading the second volume and seeing what these authors can tell us.

This was quite a nice little graphic novel, the art is very pretty, I really liked it and it works well with the atmosphere story. The story is quite well told, I don't know if there was quite enough time for me to get really invested in it and to get to know the characters past their basic personality traits, but I'd be interested to read more of these books if they're released in the future.

I absolutely loved this book. I think is a great way to start the conversation about miscarriages with children. My mom have always been very open about it and it's important to have represention of that in media. A lot people face miscarriages and it does take a toll on parents. I also identify the most with the youngest sister because animals are better than humans.

I saw this book on Instagram and wanted to see it for myself... I'm glad I did. I had no idea what it was about when I jumped into it, and I think it made me like the book even more.

The illustrations are gorgeous. The story achieves to illustrate how emotional family life can be, how things not said can eat you inside. That there's something, like a magical link, between a mother and her kids.

Many thanks to Europe Comics for the complimentary e-copy of this book through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

I expected this to tie more closely to mythology than it did. I found the actual plot sort of drifting and haphazard. Vaguely magical but mostly confusing.

Thanks to NetGalley and Europe Comics for providing the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

The thing that immediately caught my eye with this graphic novel was the artwork on the cover. It reminded me of this comic series called W.I.T.C.H that I used to absolutely adore when I was younger. The art style was very much similar to that comic and I absolutely loved it. That was definitely the highlight for me in this story and if you're a fan of that kind of art, you'll definitely find this comic very pleasing to the eye.

The story turned out to be quite different than what I expected and in a way, it can really stand on its own rather than as part of a series. I thought there would more of a magical or whimsical element to it, so that was a little disappointing, but it was still an interesting storyline. As a result of the mysterious recurring dream Sarah has about jellyfish in a forest, ending up in her mother's room, the sisters embark on a quest to learn more about their mother's past. The dynamic between the three sisters was very believable. There are moments you get along and other moments when you swear you hate each other and don't ever want to talk to them again. Of the three, Cassiopeia was probably the sister closest to my heart--a hopeless romantic, into art, etc. But as the youngest, Lucille and her love for cats was the most adorable. Her face was pure innocence and sweetness! That said, I do wish that we learned more about them. For starters, basic information like their age, where they live, etc. would've been nice to set up the story, if it'll be part of a series. As for the mystery of the dream, I was able to very quickly guess what it meant but it was still enjoyable to watch unfold for the sisters, and I think the story wrapped up very nicely. Looking forward to seeing what comes next for the Grémillet Sisters 😉

Oh, how adorable is this graphic novel!! I really loved the art and the story enraptured me... I really want more from this incredible family!

It was a decent book. kids will like it. Great art as well.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The Grémillet Sisters is one of the graphic novel that I loved after so long.
Three sisters live with their mother, and a cat, in a small town, spending the days working (mother) and playing (the amazing sisters). They are unique: the eldest, Sarah, has strange dreams every night, whereas middle-child Cassiopeia lives in another world entirely and the youngest, Lucille, talks almost exclusively to her cat.

The girls want to do an amazing present for Mother's Day and find a box with their mother's memories. She never speak about her past and this seems strange to the sisters. When Sarah finds a photo of her mother when she was young, immediately connects the tree behind her to a recurring dreams of jellyfish, trees, forests, and her mom’s room. And this is the moment when the "mission" started: discover their mother's truth.

I've liked how the protagonists are uniquely characterised. Opposing personalities amalgamating to form a single being (metaphorically)

The art was, as I expected because Alessandro Barbucci is my favourite Italian illustrator, fantastic, beautiful and great. I just love his style and I am glad that he has a new series.

The Grémillet Sisters combines beautiful illustration with an intriguing plotline. I liked that the sisters were very individual and though the first chapter is brief in comparison to traditional novels, it still manages to portray the sisters' world in a layered and absorbing way. I enjoyed the way the sisters' personalities were explored through the storyline as well as tackling their relationships with each other.

I totally enjoyed this graphic novel with such good illustration. The story is good and i would definitely recommend it!

A very magical story with even more magical illustrations. I fell in love with this comic book from the first page. I loved the characters, cute cats, magical jellyfish, and the mystery. The only minus is that it was just too short. I hope to read more by this author in the future.

Very enjoyable graphic novel. I loved the story. The illustrations were really done well. I hope to read more from this author. Thank you to Netgalley and the author/publisher for giving me a chance to read in exchange for my honest opinion.

I loved it very much, it kept me in constant mystery and intrigue and I really liked trying to deduce what was going to happen, it is very pleasant and very short, my favorite sister was Lucille and then Cassiopea, Sarah too, but more than just the two of them, it's a story very familiar and pretty that will probably make you cry

I have not read as many graphic novels this year as I usually do, but this was tempting. This is a story of three sisters whose mother goes missing one day.
As they hunt for their mother, the secrets behind the eldest's dream, each shows their own unique characteristics. It is a simple narrative with fantastic illustrations that seemed to leap out of the page. The only strange point was that the severity of the search versus the actual resolution seemed odd. It would probably work better if there were more adventures of the three sisters linked together.
Pick this one up for the brilliant art as well as for sisterly bickering that will seem all the more relatable to anyone who has a sister(s).

I received an ARC thanks to NetGalley and the publishers, but the review is entirely based on my own reading experience.

I totally loved this book. Sisters rediscovering they're mother's long hidden secret! Beautifully written! Thank you Net Galley for the copy.
