He has created in Abigail a fearless and strong-willed young girl that younger readers can identify with. She has positive attributes that girl readers can connect with, but certainly does not alienate potential boy readers. Gamon doesn’t treat his adult readers with kid gloves though, and in a telling strength to his writing abilities, has created a comic that is indeed for “all readers,” and like a fairy tale, different aged readers will get a different experience out of his tale.
