Astonishingly creative and strange. This graphic novel is jam-packed with delightful oddities, like a dapper eloquent bear with a giant basket backpack, a tiny witchy woman with huge eyes making potions from the sun (which is worm), massive crows who draw birds-eye maps, a night swim in a cave full of stars, and an aerial tramway over a hidden village.

It's strange on a level where I'm not sure it will have a big audience, but I hope it does. I enjoy a book that mixes magic and reality. To go along with the fabulism, this book has a lot of facts about astronomy and touches on the main character's struggle to follow his conscience when his friends bully a nerdy schoolmate.

I can't say I fully understood how this uncanny world operated, but I really enjoyed it.… (plus d'informations)

I don't generally do zombie books, and I seem to say that same thing every time one crops up in my reading pile, but it's true. They're generally too MUSUT EAT BRAINS focused for my liking...although this time around, it's a cat. Different for certain, but still MUST EAT BRAINS focused even if neither the girl with gentle hands nor the curious boy REALLY understands why...or Bert for that matter! I was actually quite surprised when I reached book's end as I didn't realize it would be a series, but sure enough...there are more adventures to come. Good news? I like to think so, and I mean really, where are you going to find such a courteous, protective, and sharing kitty as this unique little guy? Be warned though...it's not a sunshine and butterflies sort of read. Zombert has to eat those brains from somewhere and well, they say fresh is better. *ahem* All in all, it's a tale of survival, a tale of making your own way, a tale of never giving up and not being afraid to speak your mind...after all, how else is anyone suppose to know what you're all about if you don't? Creepy fun for everyone!
