New graphic novels

Cat Burglar Black by Richard Sala

Raised in an orphanage where the abusive matron trained all the children as thieves and pickpockets, the teenaged K. has just been invited to a mysterious boarding school, run by an aunt she never knew she had.

But there's something strange about Bellsong Academy ... the headmistress, the faculty and even the students all seem to be in on a secret. Soon K. is on the adventure of a lifetime - complete with buried treasure, hidden clues and an ancient secret society of master thieves.

This all ages graphic novel had an old school mystery feel to it, I enjoyed the bright water color art work and feel it will have immediate appeal with many Lakie readers. The author has left the ending wide open for a sequel, so we'll wait and see if there is something to follow this one.

Read On.
