This is a fun series of graphic novels great for Geronimo fans and those who don’t like to read. They are set in a vast array of historical settings and as with the novels historical facts are dotted throughout the story. The adventure aspect is fun, the pace quick. An easy and enjoyable way to get some reluctant readers reading and perhaps a little learning will sink in.

The Discovery of America

By:Geronimo Stilton

Graphic Novel #1

The Pirate Cats have discovered a way to travel back in time and they are determined to change history. Professor Volt is a famous scientist who is able to track the activities of the Pirate Cats and knows when they are up to something. Using a time machine he invented he is able to send the Stilton’s – Geronimo, Thea, Trap, Benjamin and his friend Pandora back to stop the evil plots of the Bandit Cats.This time the Cats have set out to change the course of history by messing with the discovery of America. Will Geronimo and his family be able to stop the Bandit Cats in time for Columbus to discover America like he is supposed too?

A different incarnation of the Geronimo books as this story is in graphic novel form. The story is still engaging and has little bits of actual history thrown in. It may be a little more difficult to read for younger readers with all the small panels. That may though make it a good choice for a child that can read but isn’t keen on reading novels, as it does introduce them to the characters from the novels and they will hopefully follow them into the other format.

The Adventures of Ook and Gluck Kung-Fu Cavemen From The Future

By Dav Pilkey

Ook and Gluk are happy residents of Caveland Ohio, or at least they were until it came under attack from Goopernopper Enterprises. The world’s most evil corporation from the future has invaded the past to take its resources. Ook, Gluk and their little dinosaur pet, Lily, find themselves in big trouble. Taken through the mysterious portal to 2222 they find it is up to them to figure out how to save the day. Luck for them they find a wise new friend.

This is the second graphic novel from the creators of Captain Underpants and it is easy to see why it is so popular. It looks like a book but reads like a comic, complete with mini-fliporamas. yes the spelling isn’t correct and the pictures can be a bit gross but it is very funny and not just for kids. One line had me walking around singing a particular song long after I finished the book. A guilty fun, pleasure to read.
