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 […]

OMGs!

Oh My Gods! Volume 1 by Stephanie Cooke and Insha Fitzpatrick

November 18, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Did you think Percy Jackson was a bit stiff? No sense of humor? Too focused on Greek Gods and Goddesses as old fuddy duddies? Then you need Oh My Gods! Volume 1. Stephanie Cooke and Insha Fitzpatrick created a graphic novel that has a little fun while, actually giving you a little about the Greek Gods and Goddesses of mythology. Only, this time they are real, and most are going to school on Mt. Olympus. When Karen’s mother has an opportunity to have her dream […]

A cat and three girls decided to have a couple graphic novels made for them…

Cat & Cat Volume 1 Girl Meets Cat by Christophe Cazenove

Cat & Cat Volume 2: Cat Out of Water by Christophe Cazenove

Super Sisters by Christophe Cazenove

October 12, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The team of Christophe Cazenove and William Maury have created the series Cat and Cat, the series Super Sisters, the (regular) series Sisters and the Sea Creatures series (which I have not found/read yet and has different illustrations). When reading Cat & Cat Volume 1 Girl Meets Cat and Cat & Cat Volume 2: Cat Out of Water, I did not realize Super Sisters was by the same people. And of course, the same happened with Super Sisters. I figured the similar feel to the […]

Why Is Everybody Yelling? Growing Up in My Immigrant Family? by Marisabina Russo

June 11, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I had a small roller coaster ride of thoughts and feelings about the graphic memoir, Why Is Everybody Yelling? Growing Up in My Immigrant Family? At first, I thought, “Sounds fun.” Then, “Huh, what’s going on?” And “This is slow reading.” With, “Oh, yeah digging this, getting meaty.” Along with several, “If this was fiction nobody would allow such a stereotype!” And finally, “Well that was a ride. And that afterwards was a good roundup.”   Our narrator, Cookie is “the lucky one” of her […]

Dad was a fungi…

What Goes Up by Christine Hepperman

November 25, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

What Goes Up by Christine Hepperman is about the why and how a night that was one huge mistake came about. It is written in a prose poetry format. I will leave it up to you if you think the actions of the narrator fit the “crime” that started it all. (This is not a Mystery Book, but the narrator does treat the events that she learns of to justify her own actions as if “two wrongs make a right”). Our main character shows you […]

What the flying monkeys did I just read?

Big Girl, Small Town by Michelle Gallen

November 17, 2020 by BlackRaven 5 Comments

There no traditional action in Big Girl, Small Town. Yet, you are drawn into the book from page one. Michelle Gallen made me fall in love with a fictional character. She made me see myself in her. She made me want to root for this character who (on the surface) is not an overly likable person. Or at least, not at first. You watch as Majella (our heroine) live her life. Or what passes for living in a Northern Ireland town after “The Troubles” have […]
