The Dragon Prince Graphic Novel V01: Through the Moon by Peter Wartman

Avatar: The Last Airbender: The Lost Adventures by Bryan Konietzko

by Leave a Comment

Once upon a time, there was a girl who had two friends into a show called, The Dragon Prince. They had seen all but one season but knew this girl would love it as much as they did. And she did. A lot. (In fact, so much that she would introduce the show to her dad; who binged season three and then excitedly asked when season four was. But she had to deal with his sad, puppy eyes when she informed him that it was […]

To Boldly Read Where No One has Read Before

I Am Captain Kirk (Star Trek) by Frank Berrios

I Am Mr. Spock (Star Trek) by Elizabeth Schaefer

Too Many Tribbles! (Star Trek) by Frank Berrios

by Leave a Comment

I like some science fiction. I also am a book nerd. Most especially children’s books. I also like Golden Books. Those skinny, tiny picture books with that shiny golden spine (ooh how I love shiny). And the memories of when I was allowed them (usually when mom went to the grocery store). Therefore, when I was looking up a book for a customer, I stumbled upon three GB books that checked the boxes: Science Fiction (Star Trek), Book (Golden Book) and children’s. I found I […]

Oh, I got a brand new pair of roller skates

Karen’s Roller Skates: Babysitters Little Sister Graphic novel by Ann Martin

by Leave a Comment

Did you like the Babysitters Club by Ann Martin? Or did you enjoy the Babysitters Club graphic novels? If you did, and you are looking for something else in the universe, you can do the Babysitters Little Sister Graphic novel series. As it suggests, these books are for the younger crowd. Characters you probably know from the older formats, are here, but done in simpler text and context. Karen’s Roller Skates is book two in this series. It is a stand-alone tale, but it probably […]

Teen Lois has a long way to go before she becomes Lois Lane, great journalist

Lois Land and the Friendship Challenge by Grace Ellis

by Leave a Comment

I have an odd contradiction when it comes to my comic love. I prefer Marvel movies but prefer DC graphic novel stories. This might be since I have yet seen that many Marvel characters branched into middle readers and young adult graphic novels. (If you know some, please send my way!) Then I picked up Lois Land and the Friendship Challenge. I do not know if this was the second book in Grace Ellis’s series (or if it is a series), but the start of […]

You won’t have a ghost of a chance

Séance Tea Party by Reimena Yee

by Leave a Comment

Séance Tea Party is a tale of not wanting to grow older. Of course, this theme has been done before. However, Reimena Yee’s graphic novel is a fun way to re-introduce this idea. Lora is a “late bloomer” and when she is having a séance tea party, she gets a surprise: a girl shows up. And just because she is a ghost does not stop the two of them from becoming fast friends. The trials of growing up are done in sweet, traditional graphic novel […]

Don’t Stop Me Now (I Want) Somebody To Love, and you’re it Freddie

Freddie & Me: A Coming-of-Age (Bohemian) Rhapsody by Mike Dawson

by Leave a Comment

Do have a band that just followed you throughout your life? Did you eat, sleep and breath that band? Did you also tease your little sister merciless about her “boy bands” and their breakups? Well Mike does in Freddie & Me: A Coming-of-Age (Bohemian) Rhapsody. The story Mike Dawson tells us is how the band, Queen and mostly Freddie Mercury, made an impact on his life. It colored almost every big moment of his life (from the first time he heard them, from the time […]
