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.

City of Spies


City of Spies / by Susan Kim & Laurence Klavan, artwork by Pascal Dizin
In the comics Evelyn draws in secret, the heroic Zirconium Man and his loyal sidekick, Scooter alway beat the bad guys and save the day. But quiet, lonely Evelyn never imagined she could be a hero, too.
So Evelyn can hardly believe it when she and her new friend Tony uncover a deadly plot being carried out by Nazi spies, right in their neighborhood. Together, the two pals set out to save the day - and help win the war!
The artwork looks a lot like that of Herge the creator of Tintin through out most of the story but when Evelyn is drawing her comics it is more like early North American comics of Little Lulu, Archie and even Superman. Fabulous job!
This might be great for any of you that have read - The Search by Eric Heuvel.
