Welcome to Litsy!

Library pickup today - a high school Twelfth Night retelling graphic novel.

“Like a massive storm, the winds blew and the dust choked the life out of the land. It wasn‘t just a storm—it was the Great American Dust Bowl.”

This book can be used in history lessons to discuss the environmental, social, and economic effects of the Dust Bowl. Students can also learn about the importance of sustainability and environmental stewardship through the historical lens of the Great Depression.

This book explores the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, explaining how drought and poor farming practices led to devastating dust storms that affected thousands of families.

Devastating!
This is a tale about an angry young girl who sees giants impeding her personal happiness. This one digs deep. It gets to the heart of childhood, grief and growing up. This one is really good and it deserves ‘classic‘ status. Highly recommended!

Loosely based on the real-life experiences of the comic artist David Mack, this tale of undercover espionage in the art world is very intriguing. It doesn‘t get a high endorsement from me mostly because the art (though gorgeous) doesn‘t quite match the story. Others may be able to overlook this and enjoy the book, however it was too distracting for me.

Did anyone else watch the Penguin on HBO? As much as I'm ready for a more light-hearted take on the Dark Knight, Matt Reeves' Batman universe is very compelling. The Penguin had an amazing cast, and they told a great mob story set in Gotham. I'm excited to see how the story continues.

This graphic novel is wonderful! I love the contrast between the soft watercolor style of the artwork and the story. The book has great storytelling and had me on my toes with how gruesome and suspenseful it was. This book was great it imminently made me wanted to read the next book. Highly recommend. #graphicnovel #BeneathTheTrees
