A Girl Called Echo Omnibus collects the complete graphic novel series about Echo Desjardins, a Métis teenager navigating high school and time travel. Slipping between the present and key moments in Métis history, Echo witnesses resistance, displacement, and survival while trying to piece together her own sense of belonging. Vermette’s storytelling is spare and emotionally direct, and the art leans on quiet panels and landscape as much as dialogue.

WHY WE PICKED IT
Because it offers an accessible, visually driven introduction to Métis history through a contemporary teen lens. A Girl Called Echo Omnibus is a great pick for YA readers, educators, and anyone looking for Indigenous graphic narratives that balance history with character.
