    Review: Sugar Princess: Skating to Win Volume 1-2

    Lori Henderson, January 29, 2009 | Reviews

    Sugar Princess, despite it’s girlish title and subject, is a title that deserves it’s “All Ages” rating.  Though, I think a “G” (General Audiences) may be a better rating, as this book has the ability to appeal to everyone; old and young, male and female.  It’s a short story, only lasting 2 volumes, but is […]

    Review: Supergirl: Cosmic Adventures in the 8th Grade, No. 1

    Katherine Dacey, January 15, 2009 | Reviews, Uncategorized

    Among the comic industry’s worst-kept secrets is that most superhero fare is too adult for young readers—the very audience for which characters like Supergirl were originally created. The recent success of kid-friendly titles such as Tiny Titans, Super Friends, and Billy Batson and the Magic of Shazam, however, demonstrates that younger fans want more than […]

    Ghostbusters

    Esther Keller, January 14, 2009 | Reviews, Uncategorized

    st1:*{behavior:url(#ieooui) } Who you gonna call?  Ghostbusters!  Anyone who grew up in the 80s (yes, I’m dating myself now), will recognize this refrain.  It’ll also probably bring up an image of a giant marshmallow traipsing through New York City. So, of course, I couldn’t resist the title when I saw it on display in the […]

    Review: Bakugan Battle Brawlers Vol. 1: The Battle Begins!

    johnson2627, January 10, 2009 | Reviews, Uncategorized

    Before my mother-in-law was rushing frantically from store to store this past Christmas, desperately seeking that which is called Bakugan, I had no knowledge of the latest children’s "collect ’em all" fad. Now that I have an intimate knowledge of the game, the world, and the characters, I can happily report that the story and […]

    Review: The Good Neighbors, Book One: Kin

    Snow Wildsmith, December 30, 2008 | Graphic Novels, Reviews

    Her mother has vanished and her father has stopped going to work, but Rue Silver’s not worried. Really. Only it is bothering her that she’s apparently going crazy, seeing things that aren’t there, that can’t be there. Things like faeries. Two of the great creators of dark fantasy combine their prodigious talents to kick off […]

    The World of Quest V. 2

    Esther Keller, December 30, 2008 | Reviews, Uncategorized

    Considering the popularity of the The World of Quest V. 1 at my library, I was really not looking forward to the inevitable question: when is volume 2 coming out?  It’s the same question I hear about Jellaby and A Bit Haywire all the time.  It’s that question that makes me want to tear my […]

    Review: The Undersea Adventures of Capt’n Eli, Vol. 1

    Katherine Dacey, November 30, 2008 | Reviews, Uncategorized

    I have mixed feelings about comics in the classroom. On the one hand, I think comics are a terrific tool for promoting literacy, as they engage the imagination, expand vocabulary, and show kids that reading can be fun. On the other hand, I don’t always find comics the best vehicle for teaching science or history, […]
