About Me

I'm the school librarian at G.S. Lakie Middle School. As you can see - me, reading and comfy chairs go way back. I still enjoy Asterix and many other graphic novels. My main reason for blogging is for reviewing books for the students and anyone else that might be interested in YA literature.

In Odd We Trust

In Odd We Trust by Dean Koonz ; illustrations by Queenie Chan

This is a cool new graphic novel , I think you'll like it. Here's the book trailer as a hook.


If that not enough here's what the cover has to say.
From the infinite imagination of #1 New York Times bestselling author Dean Koontz comes the suspenseful graphic-novel debut of a natural-born hero with a supernatural twist.
Odd Thomas is a regualr nineteen-year-old with an unusual gift: the ability to see lingering spirits of the dead. To Odd, it's not such a big deal. And most folks in sleepy Pico Mundo, California, are much more interested in the irresistilbe pancakes Odd whips up at the local diner. Still, communing with the dead can be useful. Because while some spirits only want a little company ... tohers want justice.
When the sad specter of a very frightened boy finds its way to him, Odd vows to root out the evil suddenly infecting the sunny streets of Pico Mundo. But even with his exceptional ability - plus the local police and his pistol packing girlfriend, Stormy, backing him - is Odd any match for a faceless stalker who's always a step ahead... and determined to kill again?
