Searching for series?
Back in June I mentioned a web site that finds the book titles in a series for you, and I would like to mention another site now: Kent District Library’s site, “What’s Next”, found
here. It would be remiss of me not to mention the Library Commission’s web pages for finding series titles, just go
here. And while you are there you can try some of the other Books in Series guides recommended by the Library Commission staff (including the Kent District Library site). Hope you find what you need when you need it!
I just finished the graphic novel
Calamity Jack by Shannon and Dean Hale, illustrated by Nathan Hale. It is the sequel to
Rapunzel’s Revenge and maintains the story and art quality of the first title. Rapunzel and Jack return to the city to find it in the giant, Blunderboar’s grip. Parts of the city are in crumbles as the huge Ant People have attacked, tumbling buildings and carrying people away. Jack wants to find and rescue his mother, but that is a difficult mission. It looks like Jack, Ranpunzel and a couple of other friends will have to face Blunderboar by themselves. Action, adventure, good vs. evil, and humor are combined in this enjoyable tale.
(The Nebraska Library Commission receives free copies of children’s and young adult books for review from a number of publishers. After review, the books are distributed free to Nebraska school and public libraries.)
