The Oldest Trick (Library of Doom Graphic Novels) par Steve Brezenoff
Note: I received a digital review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley.
Featured in a blog post at https://booksbeyondbinaries.blog/2020/07/20/chapter-books-whats-good/ (July 20th release)
I love that the Library of Doom is doing graphic novels. The chapter book series is one of my favorite HiLos to recommend for kids of all ages. This graphic novel tells the story of a book known as the oldest trick and how Dace has to outwit the book to get back to real life. The story is short and simple, but highly entertaining and page turning. The graphic novel format just notches up the story for reluctant readers but maintains an easy or lower reading level, so it is good for any age.
I can't tell if this book ends on a moral of "don't disobey your parents" or more "don't trust anything that looks perfect". The final line in the "after credits" if you will is about isolation and hallucinating, and in many ways this book comes off as a hallucination.
Though that is not a bad thing. The idea of creating a perfect little place and not letting criminals stay in it isn't a new idea. It's been tried before, and where better would it be to get executed than in space where having an offender among the populi is a problem. Of course, true to most systems, it's corrupt and extreme what someone will be cast out over.
A Hole in the Dome ends ambiguously after a hundred-and-seven pages, and it could be the end or the beginning for Florence's outside life. In many ways, that is absolute horror to think about.… (plus d'informations)
