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…

3 stars Overall a good volume that continues Wirt and Greg’s search for the Hero Frog. My problem with this one is the same as the last: the bonus comics after the main ones are just not for me. In this volume, we’re given more tales from Ms. Langtree’s school. They are simple, nonsensical, and…

Loved everything about it: the concept, the characters, and most importantly the amazing messages about the value of differences. The authors do an wonderful job creating an engaging world with strong messages that do not come…

4 stars A remarkable tale of an orphaned girl who winds up in the care of two rather strange individuals. Diana Wynne Jones’ writing is wonderful. She creates such amazing worlds, which I love visiting. This book is home to a cast of odd characters from the reluctant familiar, Thomas, to the easy-to-anger mandrake, and…

3 stars Another fun adventure with Jack and the gang, complete with new monsters, intriguing problems, and epic adventures. Fast-paced story full of battles, mystery, and jokes. Great for reluctant readers. As with the previous books, this one is broken up with artwork incorporated into the scenes. Cool integration and art style. Really works with…

4 stars I watching the movie over and over again as a child. It has been years since I last watched it, but from what I remember, the plot and dialogue of the book closely follow that of the movie. Lovely world-building. Some parts felt a bit rushed, but overall I enjoyed the level of…
