This is a lovely book! I was lucky to receive a digital ARC of this graphic novel from NetGalley to review. After loving The Magic Fish, I was eager to read Trung Le Nguyen’s latest, which is set to release in October 2025. The full color illustrations are dreamy, gorgeous feasts for the eyes. After overextending herself, Angelica turns to a place that has captivated her and brought her comfort: the local theater and its upcoming production featuring Per the Bear Prince. This story has a little of everything: family drama and grief, a second chance romance, friendship, and more. While this sophomore book doesn’t feel as deep or impactful as its predecessor, it still gets top marks for me. Young audiences will love it and older readers will appreciate it.

4.5 stars. I enjoyed this fantasy camp adventure featuring a crew of five fearless, thrill-seeking friends. They encounter fierce, mysterious creatures after dark and go on a puzzling quest through the woods. This short graphic novel is such a fun ride! I read this because my 7yo daughter blazed through the first five books in the series and I didn’t want to feel left out. I can see why she’s eager to read them all. As is the nature of comics, this book ends on a cliffhanger and feels unresolved.

Beautiful picture book that encourages everyone to try and repair or better our world.

This has been a great book for taking the moral judgements out of not having a clean house. It also contains some great cleaning hacks and makes you realize that clean enough is truly enough.

I like how Harry Potter is kind and stands up for what is right.

Reviews say "wry and hilarious." Wry, yes. Hilarious, not so much. This is a book about family. What is a family, what does it mean to find one, to be part of one. I enjoyed this book but prefer Wilson's most previous two. I loved the characters but found the story a little slow.

I really like this book because it has gems in it and I like Amaya. I think someone else would like it because it has a girl who really likes her friends and they go into a place called gem world. I really like how at the end she gets her brother back and she gets her parents back with her brother.

Sometimes "webcomic" can be an inadvertent insult--NOT IN THIS CASE! SUPER MEGA FUN!

I like what this book is about.
