Yo’ Ho Hum and a bottle of Root Beer at the bottom of the ocean

The Aquanaut: A Graphic Novel by Dan Santat

January 24, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The Aquanaut: A Graphic Novel is a cute story with a theme about environmentalism, animal conservation and family. The story is when a handful of sea creatures find a surprise at the bottom of the ocean, it leads them on an adventure with a young girl and her uncle. A Sea-World like park is filled with the research and animals found by Sophia’s father (lost at sea several years ago) and her uncle. A handful of critters from the actual ocean, have banded together to […]

Two reviews: a CBR12Bingo for Debut and a couple of “old timers”

Lift by Minh Le

Lone Wolf by Sarah Kurpiel 

July 29, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

cbr12bingo  Debut One can find their “pack” or friends and family anyplace. Or more accurately, the “right anyplace.” And in Lift by Minh Le (who wrote Drawn Together which I greatly liked as well as a Green Lantern for the middle school crowd, which I enjoyed) and illustrated by Dan Santat you find an interesting “pack of friends.” And with Lone Wolf by Sarah Kurpiel the right place to find your family/pack can be right under your nose. And also a debut author can be under […]

The Princess and the Pit Stop by Tom Angelberger

August 16, 2018 by BlackRaven 2 Comments

In The Princess and the Pit Stop the use of the different fairy tale characters is clever, but overall it is the race Vanellope of Wreck it Ralph entered with every “twisted fairy tale pun” possible. Yet, Tom Angelberger can be forgiven for that as the book is just plain funny and well done. It is perfect for the four to eight-year-old crowd. Clever illustrations of Dan Santat with his signature style and great colors help this book to be a more fun read. It […]

The Unimaginary Friend

The Adventures of Beekle: The Unimaginary Friend by Dan Santat

May 7, 2018 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I rarely reread a book, but when I do it is usually because I really enjoyed it, wanted to find something I missed or forgot I had read it before. The Adventure of Beekle: The Unimaginary Friend falls in that last category. I do not think I had an imaginary friend as a child. I know that I had an imagination and had “playmates” but none “stuck” as being the imaginary friend. Maybe that is why I always look at books about imaginary friends with […]
