Today’s books range from ABC and 123 learning to letting you know that you can do anything if you try to a girl growing antlers and a boy waking up flat. And when you find a handful of books that deal with being different and different is okay, the only thing you can do is write reviews about them so others will read them too. I found a board book the other day called My Two Dads and Me. It is written by Michael Joosten. […]

Did I mention the NOT cows????

Black Sand Beach V01: Are You Afraid of the Light? by Richard Fairgray

by Leave a Comment

Black Sand Beach V01: Are You Afraid of the Light? is a fun mystery in a traditional modern comic/graphic novel format. The spooky is spooky for the 10 to 14 crowd (slightly younger could do as well, but this is not for the overly sensitive reader as there are skeleton/zombie ghosts, a haunted lighthouse, odd looking characters who might have a live body in a bag, and um… not cows … wandering around).  But nothing is really over the top. Except, it is. There is no seriousness […]

When you love a series you don’t want it to end…

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

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

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 […]

I can’t come up with a clever title for this so just read it okay?

Ella’s Night Lights by Lucy Fleming

by Leave a Comment

I am not sure if I liked this story about Ella and her friends, but I also am not sure if I disliked it. Ella’s Night Lights has an atmosphere that is both hopeful and somber. There is a delightful story of friendship, yet there is a sadness about the that Ella is a fragile creature. There is a lot going on in a few pages. It is then up to the reader to decide what they feel about the book without others telling them. […]

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 […]
