Member-only story
Today’s stack is all about comics for kids: a few are new or upcoming, and a few are a little older, and there are even a couple that are somehow both at the same time. Let’s dive in! These are arranged roughly in order of target audience age.
Fitz and Cleo are siblings who also happen to be ghosts; this book is a chapter-book comic, divided up into 11 short stories, as they have silly adventures and play with their cat, Mister Boo. (Cleo loves Mister Boo and gets along well; Fitz is a bit more skeptical and Mister Boo responds accordingly.) The stories are cute and have funny endings; most are fairly short at just a couple of pages long. I’ll note that although the formatting looks similar to an easy-reader book, the vocabulary is mixed and very young readers may need a little help with words like “vanquish” and “definitely” and “echinoderm.” ( Fitz and Cleo will be available at the end of May.)
This story is about a little girl who makes a wish on a falling star-which actually turns out to be a comet! It turns out they both…
