Drama

I know I said I would show this book a few days ago, but there  was a few things that prevented me from blogging. Anyways, now I have my new book...

                Drama,by Raina Telgemeier

Rating:Four Stars 

I got Drama the same way as Ghostopolis. After the happiness  of having one  book signed at Comic-Con, I saw Raina, the author of Drama. She told me about her new book, Drama, so of course I got it! 

Drama is about how a girl named Callie is part of the stage crew in drama club. She soon meets two boys that she can't help but like. Callie gets to know them better and better, but do they like her as she likes them?Find out which one does!

This is another wonderful graphic novel. A bit of romance is always good, especially when this seems like real life middle school, where some books only focus on losing friends. In Drama, Callie keeps her friends, and doesn't fret over being the "popular girl" as so many other books do.

So yet another book that I've showed you, and (hopefully soon) I'll be reviewing Can You Get an F in Lunch? Bye!

Ghostopolis


I've been gone awhile, but with a few new books to show! My first book is...http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/6/62/Ghostopolis-cover.png/250px-Ghostopolis-cover.png
Ghostopolis, by Doug TenNapel

   Rating:Four and a Half Stars
I got the book in one of the best ways possible. I was at Comic-Con, a HUGE comic/geeky convention. Unfortunately, there was no Harry Potter things there, which I was really disappointed about. Lucky, I was able to buy Ghostopolis and have it signed by Doug TenNapel.I even got a picture with him, shown below.
                                 

                                   
About the book...It's really great. It's about how a man names Frank Gallows accidentally sends a boy called Garth Hale into Ghostopolis. While Frank tries to undo his mistake, Garth  learns about the twisted world of the afterlife and how it came to be that way. But can he get back to the real world?

This is a wonderful graphic novel. It has everything you could want in a book about the afterlife. Suspense, action, and a bit of humour. I loved the characters and their strange pasts and secrets. I have already recommended this to my friends, and I recommend it to you too! Check back tomorrow for Drama.
