The Thin Line
I’m going to cheat a little today, and deviate from our attempts to review in roughly calendar order. Now that that’s out of the way, let’s talk about middle grade and YA and all ages and the fine line between the Newbery and the Printz. We’ve had books on all ends snag awards, yes, but […]
Graphic Novel Siblings: Delilah Dirk and The Nameless City
The two books we’re talking about this morning might as well be graphic novel siblings.

And who couldn’t use a little love at this time of year, amirite? Well, to be honest, these three books aren’t all about wuv (twue […]
The Shadow Hero
The Shadow Hero, story by Gene Luen Yang & art by Sonny Liew First Second, July 2014 Reviewed from final copy I don’t review graphic novels here that often, although I read most of them, because I always worry that I don’t know enough about art. But I know enough to know that this is […]
