Max, Rebecca, Noah, and Theo think Grandpa Gabe’s house is
haunted and then, in the library, discover a movie projector that opens a
passageway into a world threatened by creatures of shadow, where their only weapon
is light. This could be named “the
never-ending story” because each “book” is a sequel that continues the story
and gives you a preview of what’s to come.
Granddaughter is into this series and last Tuesday, a snow
day, I got to be with her and some friends who came over and we hung out. By mid-afternoon we were ready to get out of
the house. The icy streets had melted
and we drove over to Menchies, a frozen yogurt shop, in the neighborhood. This, of course, has nothing to do with the
story except it was the four friends – Kennedy, Maddy, Makena, Porter and they
were looking for adventure.
The book is the winner of Best Comic Book for Young Readers
at the Lyon Comics Festival and 2008 Nominee for the Essential Youth Prize of
the Angouleme International Comics Festival.
