The Star Scouts by Mike Lawrence

Star Scouts: The League of Lasers by Mike Lawrence

by Leave a Comment

I am halfway through volume two of The Star Scouts by Mike Lawrence and thinking I need to purchase book three to donate to the library after reading. Because if kids out there are like me, they are going to want to know what happens to Avani, Mable, Jen, Pam and the rest of the Star Scouts. This graphic novel is great for aged 8-10 or a low 11-12-year-old. There is the typical trying to fit in story and cannot. There is then the finding […]

Two books, one review

The Graveyard Book Graphic Novel: Volume 1 by Neil Gaiman

The Graveyard Book Graphic Novel: Volume 2 by P. Craig Russell

by Leave a Comment

The Graveyard Book Volume 1 and Volume 2 are based on the Neil Gaiman middle reader novel of the same name. I have not read a lot of Gaiman, but what I have, I have not necessarily loved. (Though the movie Coraline was fun and the audio of it was an experience.) However, P. Craig Russell’s graphic novel adaptation shows how Gaiman’s reputation might have been earned. The two volumes are an interestingly wild ride. I wish I had found a complete one volume (hence […]

Ghostopolis by Doug TenNapel

This book has an odd backstory. I was looking at the library website and noticed several graphic novels I would like to read. I went to the library to pick up the sequel to the book I was reading and pull other books to look at. Maybe take one more home as I still had three that I had taken out the other day and was checking out the sequel. I picked up Ghostopolis by Doug TenNapel. The cover was what had caught my attention, […]

Karen Memory by Elizabeth Bear

by 1 Comment

At one point, I was considering giving this five stars, I was having so much fun with it. Some pacing issues towards the end, as well a tiny quibble with the ending brought me back down to earth, though. But overall, fun! Karen Memory is a book I wasn’t really looking forward to reading, for what reason I’m not sure. I’d never read Elizabeth Bear before (but will in future!), and sometimes Westerns just don’t work for me (and other times I love them). But […]

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins

Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins

by Leave a Comment

So because of the recent news of the prequel book(s?) coming out in the next few months, and especially given the chosen subject of those books, I wanted to revisit the series again and since every library still has 100 copies of each of them, seemed perfectly doable. I, for one, am more interested in the new because she’s chosen to look into Snow as a character more, and explore some of the early days of Panem. For one, from what I recall about the […]
