Akissi is an absolute joy... her world is real, rounded, full of warmth and humour.

BookTrust

If you've yet to experience Abouet and Sapin's depiction of Ivory Coast life I cannot recommend this series more highly. In these most difficult of times books like Akissi are a beacon of joyous light in the darkness of reality.

- Andy Oliver, Broken Frontier

[Mathieu Sapin] brings Akissi's Abidjan suburb to life, and is great when moments of exaggeration are needed.
