🐸 Maddy Kettle: The Adventure of the Thimblewitch by Eric Orchard

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

Eleven year old Maddy Kettle loves working in her parents’ bookshop with her floating toad. But when the Thimblewitch turns her parents into kangaroo mice, her whole life changes. Maddy is about to embark on an adventure to save her parents.

I loved the art and the concept of this story, but the plot was very loose and the writing was just ok. It left off open ended and I wish it had been longer to go more in depth to the story. This would be a good book for kids learning to read or first diving into graphic novels.

Hardcover, 128 pages Published August 2nd 2016 by First Second Source: Raincoast Books

Bera, The One-Headed Troll is a curious book that lingers in your mind long after you have read it. Bera, in case you didn’t realize it, is a rare one-headed troll (most have two) and is subject to a lot of slander from the hegemonic group, namely the trolls with two heads.
