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!

September Book #7
Book: Rapunzel's Revenge by Shannon Hale and Dean Hale, illustrated by Nathan Hale
Age-range: 0 and up
This is a book I've bought for, and recommended to, countless people, but I have to confess something: I'd never actually read it. I know, I know, that's horrible! So when we were at the library the other day I made sure to check this one out. And I loved it! (As I knew I would.)
It's the story of Rapunzel, with a Western twist. She uses her long hair as lassos to whip bad guys into shape. With the help of Jack (of Beanstalk fame), she's able to defeat Mother Gothel and rescue her mother and the kingdom.
This is a graphic novel, which is like a comic book except... okay I don't know the difference. One sounds fancier, that's all I know! This is a great book for boys or girls; reluctant readers, or voracious ones. It's a great story and I highly recommend it. Happy reading!
