    Review: ‘The Cardboard Kingdom’

    Esther Keller, January 3, 2019 | All Ages, Graphic Novels, Reviews

    “Give a kid a cardboard box….” You’ll often hear parents quip that their child was more interested in the box rather than the new toy. And I know when my groceries are delivered in cardboard boxes, my kids beg me to keep it around. It becomes a house, a bus, and anything their imagination allows. Chad Sell and his many collaborators use this concept to create a rich story about a group of neighborhood kids that allows their imagination and ours to soar.

    Review: As the Crow Flies

    Esther Keller, August 27, 2018 | Graphic Novels, Reviews

    Summer vacation. I spent years in summer camp… most of them were spent crying and counting down the days until it was time to go home. The only year of summer camp that I really enjoyed was the year I was a “pioneer.” The program was centered on the rustic outdoor experience; hiking, canoeing, and […]

    Review: The Wendy Project

    Esther Keller, August 24, 2017 | Graphic Novels, Reviews

    I particularly adore when authors (and artists) take a (classic) work and they tear it apart and create something new—but recognizable. There’s Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, countless fractured fairy tales, and this year I read a dystopian version of Peter Pan. So picking up a copy of The Wendy Project was a natural choice […]

    Review: Knife’s Edge

    Esther Keller, August 22, 2017 | Reviews

    After reading volume 1 of the Four Points series, I was left hanging. So were my students. One student, Albert* (Name changed), asked me when volume 2 was coming out. I told him the wait was a while, and he asked me to let the author and artist know that he was willing to help […]

    Interview: Shannon Hale and LeUyen Pham on ‘Real Friends’

    Esther Keller, May 10, 2017 | Graphic Novels, Interviews

    I’m a sporadic social networker. On the rare day, when I have a few minutes of down time, I will go online and try and catch up on either Twitter or Facebook. So the other day, when I had a few minutes (read: procrastinating), I realized that the release date of Shannon Hale and LeUyen […]

    Review: Drowned City: Hurricane Katrina & New Orleans

    Esther Keller, May 17, 2016 | Graphic Novels, Reviews

    The children I work with on a day-to-day basis have no real memory of an event that has changed the course of our country’s history. While for those of us sitting in New York City and in many other cities in the United States (the world!), Hurricane Katrina was far away, but with the TV […]
