Remember book reports when we were in school? For some they were a dreaded terrible thing, for others they were fun ways to recall your favorite book and an easy format to tell someone what the book was about. I've decided to post some reports of books I've read recently; let's jump right in.
My oldest child gifted me this book during the holiday season. This child of mine has into been into graphic novels since their teenage years. The interest slowly crept upon me & I found myself enjoying them as well. Almost every time a chapter in this book ended, I felt it should be over. Now, I knew it wasn't because I'm sitting here looking at over 100 pages left! I had to continue to read for the simple fact that I had to find out where they were going to go from a particular point & how they were going to set it off. The Authors did not fail to keep an exciting colorful intense pace.
Author: Skottie Young
Title: I Hate FairyLand the whole Fluffing Tale
Main Characters: Gertrude & her trusty sidekick Larry
Setting: FairyLand where everything cute & crazy ever existed
Plot: Gertrude is a 28 year old woman trapped in a child's body in FairyLand. The only way to get home is to follow the insane quest along with her guide, to find the key that will take her home. This girl is wild, she decides to do things her way instead of taking some of the advice given. The reader is left to wonder will she make it home?
Personal Endorsement: I know every time this particular child of mine gives me something to read it's finna be good. This one was hair raisingly fun. I enjoyed the artwork & all of the colors. On some level I identified with Gertrude's anger but also understood & saw where it would've been helpful for her to calm down a bit, maybe take a breath. I will give this book a 10 & I would recommend you read it if graphic novels are your thang!
