4 stars Another fun Hilda tie-in. While I’d love this series to go more in-depth into the world we see in the show and the original comic, these books are not set up that way. Instead they combine episodes, creatively incorporating the plots together to make one continuous story. That isn’t necessarily bad; it’s just…

4 stars A fun mashup that takes influence from Luke Pearson’s graphic novels, the Netflix adaptation, and a few changes of its own. The second book in the series covers episodes 3, 5, and 7 of the show. It was interesting to see how Davies combined the plots of these three episodes to create their…

4 stars Bubblegum and Marceline are two of my favorite characters from the show. So when I saw there was a graphic novel about pirates stealing something from Princess Bubblegum’s chamber and her asking Marceline to retrieve it, I was all in. Some of the books in the Adventure Time comics/graphic novel universe are hit…

5 stars Another absolutely gorgeous book in the Amulet series! I love the artwork of these books so much. It’s so easy to just get lost in the worlds Kibuishi has created. Despite my best efforts, I flew through this book. So much happens and it was all amazing. The whole storyline on Algos Island…

As with any compilation, there are some hits or misses, but overall it was a fun read. There is great diversity in the stories and expressions of the characters. Some stay true…

4 stars After reading this, I already want to spend another summer at Camp Whatever. Complete with mysterious fog, horrific garden gnomes, a camp director with ulterior motives, shadowy figures, and odd happenings, this book has got it all. It’s packed with adventure, mystery, magic, and suspense. There are plenty of twists and turns in…

4 stars Another fantastic adventure with Audacity Jones. Complete with mystery, new acquaintances, stage magic, and of course some charismatic (and possibly magical in their own right) animal companions. This is the second book in the Audacity Jones series. While it picks up where the last one left off, there is enough explanation given that…

3 stars A fun story following Finn as he switches places with the Rock Princess so she can carry out a plan to make the council take her seriously and save her kingdom. Fans of the show will enjoy these original tales of all new adventures and silliness that have the same heart as the…

3 stars Whenever I dive into an Over the Garden Wall, I’m prepared for the strange and unexpected (as much as one can be when venturing into the Unknown). It’s part of what I love about the show and have loved about this graphic novel series. However, this one went in an entirely different direction….

4 stars An engaging story that mixes adventure, mystery, history, and a hint of the fantastical. This was a nice bit of historical fiction geared toward young readers. Larson admits to taking a lot of liberties with the story of the disappearance, but many elements are inspired by facts and the whole thing comes together…
