Hi!

It’s the Funkiest Monkeys of the Funky Monkey reading group here!  For reading we have been looking at graphic novels!

So far we have read:

American Born Chinese

American born Chinese is about a Chinese-American boy struggling to fit in at an American high school. His story is linked with Danny, an all-American boy, whose cousin Chin-Kee’s annual visit is ruining his life, and the Monkey King, who just wants to join the ranks of the gods. We found this a really strong, interesting book and liked the way the ends tie up, just enough to let you decide the small details of the end of the story. 8/10

Anya’s Ghost

Anya’s ghost is a great novel about a not-so-popular teenage girl who’s life just gets worse when she falls down a deep hole to find it haunted with a ghost who died 93 years before. She seems friendly but is there more to her than meets the eye? This is a highly recommended graphic novel - you must read it! 9.5/10

Artemis Fowl

Artemis Fowl is a hard hitting Graphic Novel which is great for someone that likes a bit of complexity and a bit of fun. It is hard to read at first but don’t give up, It does get better. Some strong Sci - Fi action and some interesting characters. Artemis Fowl is a great Book/Graphic Novel.    7.5/10
