Here is the start of my Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicles volumes 1-6 journey if you’re curious as to how this started.  The manga is rated 13+ but when I let my seven year old start reading it I couldn’t think of anything that would be inappropriate.  However, on this re-read I believe the rating is due to alcohol consumption.  It doesn’t happen often but the characters do indulge from time to time.  And as the ages of Syaoran and Sakura are not stated, and they seem to be in their teens, it would appear that there is underage drinking. Volume 7 […]

I began reading and collecting Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle when it was first released in 2004.  It is written and drawn by my favorite manga collective, CLAMP, a four woman team of artists and writers.  Over the years I slowed down my collecting but always intended to get the entire series.  When Borders went out of business, I grabbed as many of my missing volumes as they had but was four short of all twenty-eight.  Fast forward quite a few years later and my eight year old started reading the series and was very put out that I didn’t have all the […]

Guts is Great!

Guts by Raina Telgemeier

November 5, 2019 by Alexis Leave a Comment

Guts Raina

Raina Telgemeier is a comic artist who has created some all time greats (Drama, Smile, Sisters, Ghost) that fearlessly touch on topics most child/teen comics staunchly avoid – family struggles, LGBTQ characters, etc. Her latest is a semi-autobiographical story about a 12 year old who starts to struggle with anxiety. It starts one night when she throws up. The worst right? So she starts considering what caused her to throw up. Maybe she caught a bug from somebody else. Better not share snacks! Maybe it was something she ate? Better avoid foods that could cause problems. Oh no her brother […]

We agree to disagree (Bingo Blackout!)

Pumpkinheads by Rainbow Rowell and Faith Erin Hicks

October 31, 2019 by Malin 1 Comment

#CBR11 Bingo: Two heads are better than one (would also work for Illustrated or Youths!) For two months of the year, all through high school, Deja and Josiah are best friends, while working at the local Pumpkin Patch extraordinaire. For four years, from the start of September until Halloween, they’ve been dutifully serving customers in the Succotash hut, and sharing pretty much everything with one another for those two months. Once they go back to school, they don’t really interact. This year is different. Deja and Josiah are seniors, and will be going to college next year. They’re not returning to […]

Gentle, spooky fun for sensitive, younger readers

Ghoulia and the Mysterious Visitor: Book #2 by Barbara Cantini

October 31, 2019 by Dome'Loki Leave a Comment

While not technically about Halloween, this second Ghoulia book fits the bill for a slightly spooky story for younger readers.  My second grader loved the first book, Ghoulia: Making New Friends Can be Scary, which is about an undead girl wanting to make friends with the town children.  So when I learned that the sequel was out, it was an automatic choice for an ‘All Hallows Read’ gift. In the first book Ghoulia learned about Halloween and made friends.  This time there is a mystery to solve.  A cousin, Dilbert, she didn’t know she had, has come to visit.  He’s […]

You can’t silence Love

Love is Love by Marc Andreyko

October 30, 2019 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

I wasn’t quite sure what to read for the Banned Book #CBR11Bingo square. And then my friend George shared an article about an Irving school district recently banning the comic book, Love is Love. It was sad and frustrating to learn. A tribute to the victims of the Orlando Pulse shooting was censored for “extreme homosexuality” by close-minded educators. I knew instantly I had to read this collection and review it for my first ever bingo. The book may be banned, but the message won’t be silenced. Love in all forms between all humans will continue to find a way to […]

A passionate author can make all the difference

Check, Please! Book 1 #Hockey by Ngozi Ukazu

October 29, 2019 by crystalclear Leave a Comment

I had seen this floating around, but it wasn’t until I saw Ngozi Ukazu speak at the NYPL professional day at New York Comic Con this year that I really wanted to read it.  I had seen the cover and thought, “Oh, hockey, not really for me,” and passed it by. But seeing Ukazu speak so passionately about her work inspired me to seek it out. (Fun fact – my public library where I work did not have it, but the high school where I also work did have it!  Good job, high school librarian!)  Ukazu talked about the process […]

A violent, sad, but very satisfying ending (Triple Bingo)

Locke & Key, vol 6: Alpha & Omega by Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez

October 19, 2019 by Malin Leave a Comment

#CBR11 Bingo: Not My Wheelhouse (horror) (Would also work for Illustrated) Spoiler warning! This is the sixth and final volume in the Locke and Key series. It is absolutely NOT the place to start. This review will probably contain spoilers both for earlier and this collection, so don’t read it unless you’re completely caught up. The first volume is Welcome to Lovecraft.  In this final volume, the Locke kids have to confront the evil that has been haunting their family for over a generation. If there was any doubt that it was going to have a heavy cost, even the first few pages dispels that […]
