Sentient by Jeff Lemire Illustration: Gabriel Walta

This is not a very long graphic novel, but it is certainly a potent one. The story is quite straightforward but coupled with the haunting art - it packs a punch. We begin our journey partway through that of the people in the book. They have already been on their way for a while and…

Enola Holmes: The Graphic Novels by Serena Blasco (Original novel by Nancy Springer)

I have read and reviewed the previous work on the blog : here I once again ended up reading the graphic novels close to my watching of the second movie. Although the plots overlap to a minimal degree, there is a significant deviation in the storylines here.If you have watched the movie, you would like…

Enemies by Svetlana Chmakova

I have not read other graphic novels based in this world, but I was drawn to the idea of this one. I am glad I gave this a shot because it was a fun book to peruse. Fun, mostly because I am not obliged to be part of that confusing world of school anymore as…

Cryptid Club by Sarah Andersen

I have read and reviewed other books by the author on this blog: I follow the author on Instagram and have adored her Sarah's scribbles series. The other offshoots that she has been making have not been completely my thing, but when I saw a copy of the Cryptid club, I definitely wanted to give…

Hollow by Shannon Watters; Branden Boyer-White, Berenice Nelle

I was tempted by the feel of the cover and wanted to try it out. It was quite an adventure-filled plot. It felt quick but effective, and I can see teenage audiences appreciating it as well (I can only guess that since it has been several years since I've been one).Izzy Crane is new to…

The Whale Library by Zidrou and Judith Vanistendael

This is a short graphic novel highlighting the friendship between a whale with a library within it and the sea postman who spends a lot of time delivering the post to offshore men, and this means he spends a lot of time by himself, away from his pregnant wife.With regards to the latter point, like…
