Getting your fright on

 Frights from Feral  V02 Last Exit to Feral by Mark Fearing

September 22, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

This  time around, the style is vamped with the chapters having a postcard (mostly, of course, of the creepy variety or at least sinister seeming) starting things off. And this is not the only thing that is different with Frights from Feral  V02 Last Exit to Feral by Mark Fearing.   This time we follow Freya and her friend Monica (the person who runs into Frey’s office (the basement of an old house no longer standing) at the end of book one, as they learn an important clue to the […]

One large pizza, extra scorpions

 How Do Meerkats Order Pizza?: Wild Facts about Animals and the Scientists Who Study Them by Brooke Barker

September 22, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

How Do Meerkats Order Pizza? I think they would call up their favorite joint and say, “A large cheese and scorpion pie please. And hold the eagle feathers.” (Or something like that.)  That is of course, if they ate pizza. They do eat scorpions though, and in How Do Meerkats Order Pizza?: Wild Facts about Animals and the Scientists Who Study Them we learn some amazing and fantastic facts about animals. Some of which we might not usually see in a book, so that is very cool. And even […]

Lock your doors, turn up the lights, surround yourself with garlic, and never invite a stranger in!

Frights from Feral V01 Welcome to Feral by Mark Fearing

September 21, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Mark Fearing (if that is their real name and not their ghost writer name) must have been one strange child and now a stranger adult. A child that was haunted by the best of the best hauntings, ghosts and ghouls whom they made friends with and shared with us now. They introduce us to those friends in their series about the town of Feral. Freya is our detective of the odd things in this town called Feral. They know the truth (or so they think) […]

Besties skipping a beat

Skip!: A Graphic Novel by Sarah Burgess.

September 21, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

If strawberry lemonade was a book (or more accurately a graphic novel) it would be Skip!: A Graphic Novel by Sarah Burgess. Let me explain. First, I am thirsty and for some bizarre reason strawberry lemonade sounds really good so I used it as my metaphor. And second, it was something that was familiar and different, and it sounded like it would be both sweet and tart; sassy, with life, and with character!  Which is what Skip! is. The story is familiar (new best friends Jay and Beah start to have a serious case of the Friendship Blues […]

Animals and Kids changing the world

 Cher Ami Comes Through: Heroic Carrier Pigeon of World War I (Heroic Animals), by Nel Yomtov

 School Strike for Climate (Movements and Resistance) by Nel Yomtov

September 21, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I am assuming the below titles are from a series called Graphic Novel, with each having its own sub-series within that umbrella title. But I could be wrong, as stranger things have happened (I got my dad to eat fish and chips with me more than once). And in this series they take subjects and introduce them to readers ages 8 to 14. The younger side of this age timeline might need a little assistance, while the older might need to be a smidgen below traditional […]

Boy in Space, Late for Dinner

Action Tank (Action Tank Volume 1) by Mike Barry

September 21, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Are you looking for an interesting look at a boy’s adventures as he tries to get to home as he is late for dinner? Then, Action Tank (Action Tank Volume 1) created by Mike Barry could be the read you are looking for. Or not. That is because I am not completely sure what I read and therefore, unable to say it is what you are looking for. We open the story onto barren panels and a boy laying there on the ground. Wearing what seems to […]
