Graphic Novel Reviews:

SCIENCE COMICS: SHARKS: Nature's Perfect Hunter
Joe Flood; First Second; 128 pages; April 2018 

★ ​​"Flood addresses the lore and fear that surrounds these predators, most of it coming from literature and the media. Detailed illustrations complement the text beautifully, with close-ups of the various features of different sharks as well as useful diagrams and charts." –School Library Journal, starred review 

BE PREPARED (FOUR STARRED REVIEWS)

Vera Brosgol; First Second; 256 pages; April 2018

★ ​​"Perfect for fans of Shannon Hale’s Real Friends (2017), this will easily lodge a place in readers’ hearts, even as it has them rolling in the aisles. " –Booklist, starred review  

★ ​​"The dialogue rings true, the pace is seamless, and the panel artwork, in woodsy browns and greens, conveys feelings with clean, assured lines. By turns sardonic, adorable, and noble, Vera is a beguiling hero who learns how to recognize who's really on her side." –Publishers Weekly, starred review   

★ ​​"The story, both culturally specific and universal, is a welcome addition to the growing canon of comics tales by talented women cartoonists based on their own lives." –Horn Book, starred review   

★ ​​" A gorgeous, emotional memoir worthy of any graphic novel collection." –School Library Journal, starred review   

ONE DAY A DOT: The Story of You, the Universe, and Everything (SECOND STARRED REVIEW) 

Ian Lendler; illustrated by Shelli Paroline and Braden Lamb; First Second; 40 pages; April 2018

★ ​​"It’s rare (if not unique) to see subject matter like this offered to this age group, but One Day a Dot is a gentle invitation into a much wider and deeper universe that will prove wonderfully satisfying even as it sparks an infinite array of questions about the nature of humanity itself." –Booklist, starred review   

SPEAK: THE GRAPHIC NOVEL (FIFTH STARRED REVIEW)

Laurie Halse Anderson; 

Illustrated by Emily Carroll; 

Farrar Straus Giroux; 

384 pages

★ ​​"Much remains the same narratively as Melinda moves through a world and relationships that cannot be as they were but that still offer tentative hope. The addition of smartphones and social media provide some modern window dressing, and the juxtaposition of a tumultuous first-person narration with the third person visual perspective will give even longtime devotees a new way to experience Melinda’s story." –Horn Book, starred review

VERNON IS ON HIS WAY: Small Stories (THREE STARRED REVIEWS)

Philip C. Stead; Roaring Brook Press; 64 pages

★ ​​"

Eaton has hit upon an effective combination of silly and informative in this new 

nonfiction picture book series, respecting his young audience’s ability to discern 

between the two. The dynamic pages, with lighthearted, crisply rendered cartoon 

illustrations, have a lot going on but are thoughtfully designed to make the books 

accessible to both new and more-independent readers.
