Parachute Kids: A Graphic Novel by Betty C. Tang

March 22, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

CBR15Passport, Own (the reader copy, but due early April) There is a lot going on within the covers of Parachute Kids: A Graphic Novel. This book is loosely based on some of the experiences author Betty C. Tang and the experiences of others like Tang had. And thankfully they did not happen all to one person, because as I said, a lot happens. We see the kids left to their own devices, scammed out of money, issues with language, issues with racism and even […]

March 22, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

CBR15Passport Own This is the first Benji Nate book they had a part in that I did not enjoy. The concept of Good Boy V01: Good Boy Magazine #1 a Zine format. There are different styles and types of work (done by different authors and/or illustrators) that are included.

CBR15Passport (other country English princess/Canadian author), Awhile back I contacted the company Street Noise for a few reader copies and put myself on their radar so I could receive emails from Liz like she sent the other day. This email was promoting a mid-June 2023 graphic novel release called Diana: My Graphic Obsession by Sivan Piatigorsky-Roth. Attached was an online reader link and boy did I want to read it. But I was at work and must wait. When I finally etched out reading time, […]

Normal is a setting on a VCR.

Normal Norman by Tara Lazar

March 21, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

CBR15Passport, own Normal is a setting on a VCR. Which you say makes no sense at all. And that is the point. There is no “Normal Setting” on a VCR (and do they even have VCRs anymore?). Which means there is no normal. And in Tara Lazar’s Normal Norman we learn exactly that. Normal is not a real thing. Normal is as normal does. Normal is who you are. And we learn this through funny text, equally goofy S. Britt illustrations and a young scientist […]

CBR15Passport own (Hattie Hates Hugs) Sarah Hovorka has a thing about hugs. Now, it sounds like they mostly like them, but maybe for other people.

They make her all squirmy and stiff. And boy do they upset her tummy. But it is not until the wise matriarch of her family lets her in on the […]
