Comics Squad

Holm, J & M (eds.). Comics Squad: Recess!. New York, NY: Random House. 

I really like the way the graphic novels where setup. The book is a series composed of “The Super-Secret Ninja Club”, “Book ‘em, Dog Man!”, “Betty and the Perilous Pizza Day”, “The Magic Acorn”, “Babymouse: The Quest for Recess”, “Jiminy Sprinkles in “Freeze Tag””, “300 Words”, and “The Rainy Day Monitor”. From children having their own ninja club to a lunch lady fighting a pizza monster. Very comical, adventurous, and excellent way to combine laughter in one place. I personally enjoyed “The Rainy Day Monitor. Their kickball game was canceled and what they thought would be a boring recess time with a very boring 5th grader, ended up being a fun time at recess. 


Excellent graphic novel! I thought the short novels were very humorous and was glued to the book. The graphic novel was easy to read and follow along. Perfect example on how to use dialog throughout the writing.
