Diary of a Wimpy Kid
Author: Jeff Kinney
Publisher: Amulet Books
Publish Date: 2007
ISBN: 978-0-8109-9313-6
This book is about the struggles of middle schoolers. The
main character is named Greg. He really doesn’t know who he is and struggles to
fit in. He is the middle child so he is kind of lost. He is always getting his
best friend Rowley in trouble. He puts the blame on him. He is so desperate to
be popular. By the end of the book, he realizes it is more important to stand
up for your friends than to fit in with people that don’t matter.
I like this book because it is a perfect graphic novel.
There is text but on every page there are pictures. I think this is perfect for
children who are intimidated by reading because the pictures break up the text.
They are also fun to look at. I like how everyone can relate to this book, even
adults. I give this book a 9 out of 10.
Big Nate
Author: Lincoln Peirce
Publisher: HarperCollins; 1 edition
Date: March 1, 2010
ISBN: 978-0061944345
In this book Nate starts off having a bad day. He forgets to
study for a test that he has that day. He gets detention by almost every
teacher he has. It is kind of along the same lines as Diary of a Wimpy Kid. It
follows the life of a middle school boy who tries to make it through the day.
I do like Diary of a Wimpy Kid better. I like the pictures
more and I think the book is set up in a better way. The pictures are funnier as
well. I think this is still a good graphic novel. I give this one a 7 out of
10.
Bone. Out of Boneville
Publisher: Cartton Books
Date: 1995
ISBN: 978-0439706407
Author: Jeff Smith
It is a comic series. There are three cousins, Fone Bone,
Phoney Bone, and Smiley Bone. They travel into a valley with really scary
creatures. They get separated in a desert. They meet a lot of different things
while going on an adventure.
This book was alright. I was not really a fan of the plot, I
thought it was lacking. I do like the graphic novel style. It looks
intimidating, but it’s easier for children to tackle. I give it a 6 out of a
10.
