I’m so sorry to say I just couldn’t get on with this book. The font style wasn’t as friendly as I would have liked it to be.
The artwork is simple but very effective, and appropriate for the story line.
The story follows a young boy who is dealing with loss, social anxiety and OCD. I’d say it’s suitable for teens plus due to the subject matter.
The story seemed pretty long for an EBook, but i wonder if i felt like that just due to the font used. A simpler font may make it easier to follow and be drawn in, rather than me zooming in every now and again to work out a word.

I trully believed this was going to be a fun and light story, but holy shit I got hit in the face with multiple feelings. For sure I want this book in my library when it's released.

Great story! Loved the illustrations. Loved watching the character's growth through this story. Highlights OCD and growth.

This is a moving story of a young boy with OCD who navigates the world and his personal challenges in his own special way. The rules he imposes on himself enable him to fade into the background but all that changes when he is late for school one day. Suddenly he is popular with his classmates and nominated to attend a speaking competition. He decides to ask the King of Belgium to help him choose a topic to speak on and that's when his adventures truly begin.

The reader is then taken on a journey as the young boy cascades through a competition, relatives, travel and an encounter with a banana skin. Through it all he gathers the courage to face up to personal difficulties and he realises that life is actually incredible even if it is tough.

I really enjoyed this story. It is deeply moving but at the same time funny and entertaining. The artwork was ok, but not a strong favourite of mine. The artwork was three stars for me. Having said this the story itself is very powerful and is definitely five stars.

I would like to have a hard copy of this story for my bookshelf and then I could read it again and again. I really liked it!

The story recounts a young boy dealing with loss, loneliness and social anxiety, overcoming obstacles on an unlikely journey as he comes to discover the wonder of the universe and his own existence. I found this to be a sufficiently affecting story. Though whimsical, it explores some dark themes, even touching on suicide and insanity.

First of all, the positive part: I liked the art style. I thought it was cute and it reminded me a little of the art in Le Petit Nicolas, which is a childhood favourite of mine.
The font was nice as well, though I suspect some readers might have difficulties with it.

The story itself was plain weird. I was okay with that up until about the last fourth of the book. It just took a huge downturn from there on - the plot twist came out of nowhere and was seriously messed up.
The author was obviously trying to get a message across, but it just didn’t work for me.

Overall I wouldn’t recommend this book, but to each their own I guess.

Incredible is a pretty heavy book and the illustrations weren't my favourite. Even the choice of font isn't so suitable in my opinion. The story was pretty good but I don't know why but I just couldn't really get into the story. This story is about braving it to everything that life may throw your way. The ending was so unexpected, I genuinely thought the character's mom died but turns out, there's so much more to it.

Definitely not a book for me. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to get into the story. The art-style was different of what I am used to and I had to force myself to finish the book. I do think though that it is an original and different idea of what we see in other kids' books but as I said in the beginning, not a book for me.

Thanks to the publisher for giving me a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

This book was alright, it wasn't too bad but also not exceptionally good. The story line itself was pretty decent but I thought it dragged.
I also didn't really like the art style and it was hard to get used to in the beginning. and I failed to get used to it at all in the end because I had to put it down due to lack of interest and the art style a well it took a lot of time.
I did enjoy it a bit though so hence why it's not a 1 star.

It's bit gloomy of this book, but that is the book talks about how this little boy conquered his fear and confront it.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

This was just existential enough that it makes you think but not too much that it feel pretentious. It was simultaneously heartwarming and heartbreaking. The style combined with the narrative created a feeling of childhood and gives you back hope after you feel worried for Jean Loup for the majority of the story. It was a very encouraging read and I liked that Jean Loup overcame some of his fears and confronted them.

I thought this graphic novel was really interesting. It follows Jean-Loup, who is 11 years old and is living with his dad. He definitely has a lot of issues that he deals with every day. He is preparing a presentation for school, but when a series of events makes him late for school, he leaves his notes at home, and he has to improvise! This starts him down a path of change, and hopefully healing.

I really loved the art in this. I thought the colors fit the story so perfectly. I think the cursive script was a bit hard to read at times, but that could have been because I was reading this as an eBook, rather than a physical book. This story really dealt with a lot of things that were plaguing this little boy. Severe OCD and anxiety, as well as depression. I liked how this showed that these issues can be found in young children as well, not only adults. I also liked seeing the support of his Uncle, even though he also has some issues himself. I really enjoyed this story and would recommend it!

Unfortunately I ended up dnf ing this graphic novel half way through . The art style and story just wasn’t for me 🤷🏻‍♀️

Charming and Touching

Without risking any spoilers I would just note that this tale is actually four or five different stories woven together in a sensible, if not necessarily seamless, fashion. We touch on a number of themes and issues with various degrees of success, but always with a high degree of insight and kindness, as well as humor and generosity. Our hero is exceptionally appealing and his hero's journey is one of the mind and spirit. This is, at bottom, a tender, earnest, and big-hearted work, which strikes me as much more than enough to recommend it.

The cover is deceptive, (though visually appealing), in that the balance of the art is simple pencil, charcoal, cool pastels, and minimal decoration or background. That spare and simple style, though, highlights the important aspects of the narrative, and keeps the tale charming and a bit light where it could have otherwise have become too heavy. The ending deserves a flash of rich color and intensity, and we get that, so this is one of those happy collaborations in which the art and the text and the overall narrative all join hands.

3.5 stars. 11 year old Jean Loup loves facts and has a very vivid imagination. He is afraid of everything and life is tough but he has alot of coping measures that help him through the day. Life is hard however when Jean forgets his school presentation and he has to make up a presentation on the spot his life starts to change as he starts to belief in himself and overcomes his fears. It is incredible what you can do if you believe in yourself. I liked this graphic novel. I was not expecting the ending it really gave a new perspective on Jean and his struggles. The layout was clear and logical and the artwork has a muted palette that suited this story. Thank NetGalley for the opportunity to read this graphic novel.

Really really enjoyed this! I was not sure if this was going to be my type of read but it covers so many topics including OCD, anxiety and depression. Loved the main character Jean-Loup (11 year old boy) and really felt a connection with him throughout. I thought the artwork was really different and unusual and would definitely recommend to others,

Thank you so much to NetGalley and publishers for the e-copy to read and review!

Wow - this one hit me hard. I was not expecting such in depth feelings and content. The story includes OCD, depression, and ultimately love and hope.

Aka "The Curious Incident of the Swot and His Timeline." Awkward comic about an annoyingly anal, OCD schoolkid. Really annoying they went down so many fantasy culs de sac, and really annoying they chose such a tight cursive script for much of it. The voice-over was a bit annoying too – let's just say I didn't take to this one. One and a half stars - but only really because one star is the lowest I can give, which is clearly given over to the "never should have been published".

Incredible! is the story of Jean-Loup. Jean-Loup is an 11 years old boy who lives with his father. He loves learning about all different kind of subjects. He writes short facts and figures on numbered cards, which he classifies by category . He keeps the cards in his bedroom, his safe place. Jean-Loup is a scared boy, who is afraid of just about everything. He has OCD and sometimes he has a hard time to get through the day.

This is an emotional book about learning to let go, acceptance, overcoming fears and family. The story is brought to life by the wonderful illustrations. I loved the use of color in the drawings.

My gosh, I loved this. It’s always a pleasant surprise to find a hidden gem like this.

Incredible! was about a boy with OCD tendencies living his daily life. I loved Jean-Loup’s perspective on life, and the way he handled challenges in his life.

I’d agree with other comments that said the cover wasn’t a perfect reflection of the story, as it gave impression that this was a book about books. And I also thought that the intended audience was younger than it actually was, just by looking at the cover. However, these were just minor ‘complaints’. I loved the graphics, the layout, the storyline. The artwork at the start of each chapter was exquisite!

The ending of the book sealed the deal for me. Loved it!
