Welcome to Litsy!

A pretty cute midlegrade graphic novel featuring women in veterinary fields, characters learning a new career, and a wealth of imaginative creatures. The story flow feels a little too simple, but I know this will be a perfect read for many kids. Also, loved the beavers. #animals #magic #middlegrade #comics

i actually finished this awhile ago, but forgot to post about it!

i recommend this book, if you're into space, and a good mystery. 5/5!

A total blast! 13-year-old Ashley Rayburn finds experimental “warpaint“ created from superhero DNA that gives its wearer superpowers. While a little narrow in scope, a good story is told and this character has a lot of potential for future adventures. I loved the color and the humor. Not sure why the artist changed during the second book; Nicoletta's work isn't bad, but Lusky's art is just really good!

Faith Erin Hicks does such a lovely job of epic yet gentle storytelling wrapped in beautiful art, especially in this trilogy. I enjoyed meeting new characters and seeing established characters continue to grow as they strategize how to rescue their city from its new ruler. #Comics

Happy Thanksgiving week to everyone in the US! I love the use of a grandparent/grandchild relationship to frame a historical fiction story. The tagged book does that along with a crazy adventure! Another good one is The Lost Year by Katherine Marsh. I can't wait to see your selections for this #middlegrademonday

Simply marvelous. An adventure tale bursting with colour, exhibiting a really expansive variety of ways to fill the pages beyond the traditional grid of panels style, character design seen in the 'monster' unlike anything I've seen before, as well as other imaginative fantasy characters. An almost exclusively female cast of characters with a variety of skills, interests, backgrounds, personalities and foibles. 1/?

This was a riveting story of codebreaking, spies, and a country under pressure from its enemies. There was a fantastic blending of historical information with fascinating characters and a well-paced plot. I do wish the ending had been tied up a bit better.

This is about 12 year old Willow Chance: genius, adoptee, orphan. A weird and wonderful kid dealing with grief.

The ghosts are busy in London. The story has three ghost hunters who try to calm ghosts who have been trapped. Armed with all the normal ghost hunting tools and techniques Lockwood, Lucy and George are ready to help. After a bumbling case they need to redeem themselves by spending the night in the most haunted house in the city. This story is a fun read. 4/5
