Jake Spooky and the Wolves Within Him is why kids read

There’s a 1 on the spine of Jake Spooky and the Wolves Within Him. Jake Spooky is a punk rock ghost. He’s got the surly soul of today’s teens and throws up wolves, at least in this first book does that. Jake lives with Brand-O, a cool, flip-flop-wearing human with an old-school television as his head and an upright walking cat who doesn’t speak much, named Quincy. Elementary school graphic novel readers-Are you not entertained? If a graphic novel were a character in a movie, then Jake Spooky and the Wolves Within Him is Maximus Decimus. Its absurd, playful content gleefully runs circles around other early reader, graphic novels. Amidst all of this running, it still has the bandwidth to ask an obvious question, and yes, we are.

Jake Spooky and the Wolves Within Him has the gross-out, absurd, LOL goods that can turn reluctant elementary school readers re-think their ways.

Yes, yes we are, part deux

Gotta Go!, illustrated, graphic novel-esque that flows with fun

Why do children want to read books? For illustrated book audiences they want to read books because they’re weird, grab their attention, or have characters/situations that they know. It can be any one of those three or a combination of them. Gotta Go! is an illustrated book that runs with weirdness. Well it kind of runs, more accurately it waddles, twists, and oozes originality out of every panel. Panel, yes, Gotta Go! flows like a graphic novel, but is in an illustrated book package. The result is something that’s overwhelming fresh, original and probably not what you’re expecting.

Gotta Go! is not what you think. It’s not a book about potty training. Instead, it’s a funny book about distracting yourself after you’ve recently mastered that flow.
