Why read it?
1 author picked Otto as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This graphic novel isn't just funny and odd it's pure genius.
The entire story is written in palindrome I guess that's why they call it a 'palin-drama'! It's all about this boy called Otto who goes looking for his lost pet Pip.
