Jack might be the only kid in the world who's dreading summer. But he's got a good reason: summer is when his single mom takes a second job and leaves him at home to watch his autistic kid sister, Maddy. It's a lot of responsibility, and it's boring, too, because Maddy doesn't talk. Ever. But then, one day at the flea market, Maddy does talk -- to tell Jack to trade their mom's car for a box of mysterious seeds. It's the best mistake Jack has ever made. What starts as a normal little garden out back behind the house quickly grows up into a wild, magical jungle with tiny onion babies running amok, huge, pink pumpkins that bite, and, on one moonlit night that changes everything... a dragon.… (plus d'informations)

Jon called this "Boring Jack" (

)

filemanager | Nov 29, 2023 |

Jack has to take care of his sister, Maddy for the summer while their mother is working two jobs to try to make ends meet. When they go to a local flea market to buy tools, Maddy, who almost never speaks, tells Jack to buy some seeds from a vendor who will only trade them for his mother's car. At Maddy's insistence, Jack trades the car for the seeds. When they start to plant them, strange things begin to happen.

Mighty Jack is very much a mix of a modern Jack in the Beanstalk, Little Shop of Horrors, and Lord of the Flies. The magical plants are unique, especially when they are eaten. We really don't know why Maddy is unable to talk much. Hopefully that will be revealed in future books in the series as well as more development of all the characters. Overall, Mighty Jack is a fun graphic novel with lots of references to other classic stories. (

Magical plants are soooooo cool. Also, I love the fairy tale tie-in, and the fierce, sword-wielding neighbor girl. (

Based on a copy from NetGalley.

Really cute re-telling of Jack and the Beanstalk. I took one star off because I felt like there were parts of the story that were glossed over and could have used a little more explanation. I dunno, maybe the kids won't have trouble with that. (
