September Book #8

Book: Calamity Jack by Shannon Hale and Dean Hale, illustrated by Nathan Hale
Age-range: 0 and up

This is the sequel to Rapunzel's Revenge and it's a good one. We return back to the big city with Jack and Rapunzel. The first book was a western, this one is more steam-punk.

Jack and Rapunzel, with the help of Freddie, have to defeat the army of giant ants, rescue Jack's mother, and help get the city out of the giant's control. And there's a little bit of romance on the way.

It's funny to me because this one, though I thought it would be more of a "boy" book, is actually a little more girly than the first one. Once again, this is a graphic novel/comic book. I definitely recommend it. Happy reading!
