Hey guys!
Good news: we’re making progress on the Facebook challenge! We
currently have 715 “likes”. But don’t stop now. We still need 785 “likes” if we
want the TBF Committee to dance Gangnam style at the opening assembly. The Facebook challenge ends 1/1/13! That’s less than 2 months! Please spread the word to your
friends and family. You could post something on their wall about it.
During the long weekend, I stayed home and read all
day. I just finished reading Friends With Boys by Faith Erin Hicks. This
will appeal to readers who like manga and graphic novels. Even if you're not interested in graphic novels, never judge a book just by looking at it. At first, I wasn’t
really keen on the idea of looking at drawings/pictures and "read". But as I began to read more graphic
novels and manga, I was obsessed. I love how they’re quick, short, easy reads. As
a visual person, I felt like I'm watching a movie. Instead of reading how the
character felt, I could exactly see the emotion.
A coming-of-age tale
with a spooky twist!
Maggie McKay hardly
knows what to do with herself. After an idyllic childhood of homeschooling with
her mother and rough-housing with her older brothers, it’s time for Maggie to
face the outside world, all on her own. But that means facing high school first.
And it also means solving the mystery of the melancholy ghost who has silently
followed Maggie throughout her entire life. Maybe it even means making a new
friend—one who isn’t one of her brothers.
Funny, surprising, and
tender, Friends with Boys is a pitch perfect YA graphic novel full of spooky
supernatural fun.
Even though it can be “spooky”, Faith Erin Hicks does a brilliant
job keeping the audience entertained. And the drawings are so
unique and different! She’s definitely talented, folks. She draws better than I
do by a long shot.
Thanksgiving break is just around the corner, so stop at
your local library and catch up on some reading. Make sure you check out Friends
With Boys along with Faith Erin Hicks’s other graphic novels; The War on
Ellsmere and Zombies Calling.
