3 stars There are things that this book does well and things that aren’t quite a hit. This is the first book by Telgemeier that I’ve read and I’ve been meaning to check out her work. On the whole, I enjoyed the story and the various themes touched upon. The artwork was lovely with wonderful…

5 stars By this point, whenever I pick up a book by Kay O’Neill, I pretty much expect it to be amazing. They have never disappointed. I absolutely loved The Tea Dragon Society and was thrilled to dive back into the word of tea dragons (and visit a few familiar characters) in this companion story. As always,…

4 stars Another fun-filled collection featuring Phoebe and Marigold. This one features a certain role-playing game, various holiday festivities, interactions with friends (and frenemies), and going back to music camp for the summer among other shenanigans. As always, the artwork is adorable and engaging. I loved all the new adventures and general silliness of this…

5 stars Another enchanting tale from Kay O’Neill. I’ve loved everything I’ve read from them so I had to check out this children’s graphic novel. Wasn’t sure what to expect, but I enjoyed every page.

This volume didn’t sit as well with me as the previous ones though. I think it was getting more into Max’s backstory and the lazy way of motivating his character. SPOILER An…

I am always blown away with the details of the art. Whether its fight scenes, deep conversations, or scenery shots, each panel is so well done. It is a…

4 stars Okay, after reading so many negative reviews for this book, I’m going to start with a warning. Despite the cutesy art-style, this is not a book meant for children. I got a copy from the library and there is a big old YA sticker on it, but it appears that some people were…

This one is one of my favorites. A) It is gorgeous. The artwork is simply amazing. B) Wonderful…
