Facing the Dark

The Deep Dark by Molly Knox Ostertag

by Leave a Comment

The Deep Dark by Molly Knox Ostertag A lot is going on in this book. It is not easy, not even smooth. Things go up and down and around. There is commentary on life, love, family, friends and self. But to talk about it means telling you the whole book, which you need to experience yourself. Ages at least 14 and up, very mature themes and several potential trigger situations. The flow of the book is quick, but sometimes that makes a mess. I had […]

Second verse, same as the first

Dungeon Club: Time to Party (Dungeons & Dragons: Dungeon Club, #2) by Molly Knox Ostertag

by Leave a Comment

I keep seeing the name Molly Knox Ostertag and I think, “Have I read them?” And I stop, think some more and say, “Yes! Oh duh! They have done….” and think about a book or two they have created. Why I can’t remember them I am not really sure. After all, they are a good author. So, I feel really bad that this name escapes me, but I assure you, you should not let Ostertag escape you! Dungeon Club: Time to Party (Dungeons & Dragons: […]

Dungeons & Dragons: Dungeon Club V01: Roll Call by Molly Knox Ostertag

by Leave a Comment

I started Dungeons & Dragons: Dungeon Club V01: Roll Call awhile back. I then put it aside as I was trying to read it online (and as you know, my phone is not friends with online formatting). Not only was my phone slow and dragging, but I was also not able to see the images clearly or in a larger format. Therefore, unless you have a SCREEN to view things on, then this might be best in the physical form. And the physical form is […]

Family, Courage and Magic

by Leave a Comment

I like what the publisher description of The Witch Boy says: From the illustrator of the web comic “Strong Female Protagonist” comes a debut middle-grade graphic novel about family, identity, courage–and magic. It sums up the story well (though you do not need to know “Strong Female Protagonist”). Molly Knox Ostertag has created a contemporary story with a role reversal twist. In this case, instead of the traditional story of a girl doing “boy things” a boy is doing “girl things.” The graphic novel format […]
