2 stars I’ll start by saying I am unfortunately an adult and it’s possible my feelings about this book stem from that. I couldn’t relate to Raven. She mostly just annoyed me. But that may just be because I am no longer a moody teen (thank goodness!). I generally enjoy YA and children’s graphic novels,…

4 stars Absolutely hilarious! I’ll admit, I’m not much of a history nerd. I didn’t get all the references, but each comic had its own charm. Most were fun and goofy even if you don’t know the historical inspiration. Beaton brings silliness and dark humor to many historical figures and events. Beaton also includes a…

5 stars The grossest Captain Underpants adventure so far. Even in audio format, the descriptions are stomach churning, complete with disgusting sound effects. Absolutely hilarious and very entertaining. This far into the series and I am solidly enjoying the audio format. I loved these books as a kid and wasn’t sure how well they’d translate…

5 books As I said in my review of the first book, I was hesitant in how well this could be adapted to an audio version. However, I was pleasantly surprised. As with the first book, this was a creative adaptation that incorporated the use of fun sound effects, epic music, different voice actors and…
