Graphic novels continue to work their way
onto my radar for quality literature. Here are two new ones that I loved.
A Sam and Friends Mystery: Book
Two: Lake Monster Mix-Up by Mary Labatt and Jo Rioux
Persnickety, pesky pup Sam is always
looking for mysteries to solve. Human friend Jennie can talk with Sam, and together they make a good team. On a trip to a lake house
with Jennie’s friend Beth, Sam discovers a hidden opening in a bedroom wall.
With Jennie and Beth’s help, they discover a secret compartment and a journal
from long ago. Following the guidance listed in the journal, Beth, Sam, and
Jennie enjoy a splendid and exciting vacation, solving mysteries that include
lake monsters and buried treasure!
Accessible, engaging, and fun to read, I really enjoyed Lake Monster
Mix-Up.
Amelia Earhart: This Broad Ocean by Sarah Stewart Taylor and Ben Towle
Set in Newfoundland in 1928, Grace gathers
news through houndish techniques that some people disdain. However her practice
leads her to learn tons more about this new female who wants to fly across the
Atlantic Ocean. Through her investigating, Grace learns the trials of trying to
fly planes as a female, some of the mathematics involved with flying, and the
excitement of women trying to accomplish things that had never been
accomplished before. This novel offers sweet history about Amelia Earhart and the late '20's while
also weaving a story I had never heard about some of the competition between
women so eager to break through the limits placed on them by society in the
U.S. An enthralling read, I whizzed through this text and wanted to go fly.
Enjoy those graphic novels!!
