Lost Girl is a slow pace graphic novel, slow as summer vacation in camping near by the sea with your parents and little sister. There are no super-heroes in this novel, just a 15 years old teenage girl, shared between an attraction for the world of adults and her comfortable dream world of childhood. It is difficult to know what is dream and what is reality, but Beth met a mysterious girl who is all she is not. This unusual girl is very independent and seems do to what she wants and to follow her instinct without thinking of tomorrow. Beth, a probably too well behaved girl, is really attracted to her, looking for some kind of freedom.
This strange atmosphere is very well translated by the artwork, quiet original, without any unnecessary elements, a strong but minimal illustration.
