If somebody had come up to me with this brick and said, "Hey, you should read this! It's like Walt Kelly having a J.R.R. Tolkien-inspired fever dream! For hundreds and hundreds of pages!" I probably would have blinked a couple times and changed the subject.

But this adorably geeky English teacher from one of the Carolinas presented it at a graphic novel forum at NCTE as the only thing the kids in his highly resistant 7th-grade classroom would read cover to cover. And it is oddly gripping, I must say.

Kristi Kudos - I LOVE that this is a graphic novel (series of books) I can recommend to kids as a teacher without feeling an ounce of worry that the content is inappropriate! AND it's not Manga, which works nicely for those who equate Manga with girls, however inaccurately.
