Bridger recommends Boy vs. Shark by Paul Gilligan
by Boulder Library on 2025-05-13T10:00:00-06:00 in .Bridger's reviews, children's, juvenile graphic novels, lived experiences | 0 Comments
Tender, nostalgic, hilarious.This graphic novel explores the complex questions persistently posed to many masculine-presenting folks which are: What does it mean to be a "man"? What feelings, experiences, and circumstances contribute to the development of toxic masculinity? Is there such a thing as positive masculinity, or is masculinity in itself inherently toxic?
Neatly packaged in a hilarious narrative about an imaginary shark, this text encourages deep engagement from youth and adults alike, and will especially resonate with middle schoolers.
Publisher's description:
A hilarious middle-grade graphic memoir about boyhood, toxic masculinity and a shark named Jaws. For fans of Guts and New Kid.
