I adore this book! The art struck me immediately and was what got me to check it out. A group of friends has a curious mission to fulfill, that involves the mysterious destination of the moon lanterns dropped into the river each year on the Autumn Equinox. This graphic novel is full of stunning illustrations—I found myself taking pictures of several pages. There is humor and a lot of science, but this book is all about friendship, discovery,⬇️

Bookwormjillk I read this every year at the Autumn Equinox 40m
JenniferEgnor the ways in which we navigate grief, and the sense of self. I think my favorite scene was the glowworms in the star farm cave. This book really allows your imagination to soar, and though it is written for young readers, it is a story all ages can enjoy. There is supposed to be a screen adaptation, with Peter Dinklage as the voice of the talking bear…I can‘t wait! 38m
JenniferEgnor @Bookwormjillk excellent tradition 💙 37m

This was such a cute and sweet manga!

The story is very interesting to say the least. Essentially, the main character, Nasa, gets saved by a mysterious girl named Tsukasa. He immediately asks her out and she says yes on the condition that he marries her. This volume primarily explores the very early days of their marriage.

4 ⭐This Illinois reads for 2025 is a short graphic novel. It‘s been categorized three through five but I think it would work for readers in first and second grade as well. Duck and his friends are just hanging out for the summer until they meet the cool cat. The cool cat is too cool, and it leaves an uneasy feeling in duck. Can duck conquer this feeling or will the friends realize that some people brag to feel better about themselves.

Lunar New Year Love Story, by Gene Luen Yang (illustrated byLeUyen Pham) (2024)

Premise: A Vietnamese-American teenager is pulled in many directions after she learns of a family curse that means they are all destined to fail at love.

Review: This was a bit of a mixed bag for me, largely because there were a few too many things stuffed in this particular bag for my liking. Cont.

Mattsbookaday For me the best parts were the specificity of the cultural representation — particularly in the similarities and differences among East Asian Lunar New Year celebrations and in the mixture of indigenous and Christian themes in Vietnamese communities — and the moral of the story, which was not what one might expect from this kind of novel. But it did feel a bit over-stuffed.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

At the end of WWII, the JSA find themselves of no more use to the country, and then try to return to civilian life with varying degrees of success. An obvious WATCHMEN clone, but not a bad one. My only complaints are the lack of action set pieces (until the final battle on the last pages), and the underwhelming nature of the story under the shadow of other much similar and superior books. Worth checking out if this kind of narrative works for you.

So far this one was the best in the series. In this volume, there's a new girl in school named Natasha and of course Olive tries to befriend her but Nat is definitely not a nice girl towards Olive. This story is perfect for kids who have to deal with bullies in their life and also bullies should read this as well. The art is wonderful and I love all of the characters.

34/100 This wasn't the conclusion that I wanted, but I guess it is the ending that best suits the story. In the end, there's no justice, for anyone, people die, the studio covers more scandals, and everyone shrugs and goes about their business as if it's all supposed to be this way. 3.75/5 #Read2025 #SeriesLove2025

TieDyeDude Yeah, it had kind of a Chinatown ending, which was fitting, IMO. 5d
