Críticas
In watercolors simultaneously delicate and taut with emotion, Deacon imagines Jim and his lion fighting his sickness. Small panels capture with marvelous powers of invention the hallucinatory nature of sickness. Dreamlike worlds of death threaten to engulf Jim, are beaten back, then gather strength and attack again. Deacon's images enhance but do not overwhelm Hoban's story, which holds its own potent magic. Nurse Bami tells Jim how he'll know he's found his finder: "The real thing is always more than you're ready for," she says. This is the real thing.
--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
--Kirkus Reviews This is a spare allegory, and Deacon's illustrations complement and extend the brief text. ... The art highlights the feverish terror of Jim's dreams... Sophisticated art... The unique story and remarkable art warrant this a place in library collections.
--School Library Journal The intensity of the imagery calls to mind the respect afforded to children's emotional capacities found in Shaun Tan's "The Red Tree." ... Just what the doctor ordered for children with vivid imaginations facing their own traumatic ordeals.
--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books Compelling and disquieting, Deacon's artwork, a dazzling emotional tour de force, takes this old story to exciting new levels.
--Jules Danielson, Kirkus Reviews Breathtaking... The book is a lovely blurring of what is dream, what is reality, as Jim finds courage to free himself from his fears. ... Inspiring.
--The Buffalo News The deftly illustrated watercolor paintings support the delicate tone of the text.

Reseña del editor
Russell Hoban’s moving, unflinching tale of a boy who finds bravery during illness is reimagined in graphic-novel format with new art by Alexis Deacon.
Asleep in his hospital bed, Jim dreams of a great lion with white teeth and amber eyes. This lion is Jim’s finder. According to Nurse Bami, everyone has a finder, a creature who comes looking for us when we are lost. But when the time comes for Jim’s operation, will his lion be able to find him and bring him safely home? Dramatically reimagined as a graphic novel by award-winning illustrator Alexis Deacon, with the inclusion of powerful dream sequences, Russell Hoban’s tale of a boy’s search for strength and courage will resonate with any child dealing with adversity.
