A delightful story about a group of young aspiring filmmakers who spend their summer uncovering the mysteries of Martha's Vineyard. Does a very good job of capturing the je ne sais quoi of tweens exploring their autonomy. All the characters have realistic strengths & flaws that make things feel far more organic than many other "young detective" books, and the relationships that develop in the story feel natural and cathartic. Very New England; very heartfelt; very good! ~ Reviewed by David Gray-Smith

The story of being different takes on a bit of a turn and a whole lot of crazy seventh grade antics. Dealing with typical teen issues of siblings/older sisters, first day of middle school, friendships, romance, and being a lizard person (okay that one might not be typical) this relatable, humorously told graphic novel is for kids of all ages (and kids at heart). ~ Reviewed by Jeanette

Bunnicula: The Graphic Novel is what you loved as a kid now in a graphic novel format. The beloved story is just as wonderful as when you first read it back in the (oh the third number might have started with an eight) but has been adapted for the modern reader. All the puns, fun and giggles are there. Our heroes and their family are as wonderful as ever. New readers will fall in love, and we mature readers will fall in love again. ~ Reviewed by Jeanette

A classic book now in a graphic novel is still the story we loved as kids. A review I found had the person wanting to grab a scrunchy and their dunkaroos. I was already wearing my scrunchie (the classics never go out of style), and neither does Hahn. The story is part mystery, part-thriller, part ghost story, part siblings story, and hard to put down. ~ Reviewed by Jeanette

Meesh is an adorable little demon who puts herself wholeheartedly into what she loves (which are fairies, princesses, flowers, and her grandmother) But you see, Meesh is a demon, and they are not supposed to like fairies, princesses, or flowers (thankfully grandmothers are okay to like). It is as bubbly as the Bub-Lava drink the demons love to consume. It is filled with mystery, mayhem, bullies, new friends, wonderful family, misunderstandings, and a little magic. And it all comes into play as Meesh, who we know is a superbly different kind of demon, finds a way to save not only her village from a mysterious illness, but find out who she really is. This is a nice story about being different. ~ Reviewed by Jeanette
