Holm, Jennifer L and Holm, Matthew Squish #3: The Power of the Parasite 96 pgs. Random House Books for Young Readers, 2012. $6.99. (Rating: Language: G, Violence: G, Sexual Content: G)
This graphic novel is the continuing adventures of Squish. He is
supposed to be learning how to swim. His new friend is causing more trouble
than fun. He will have to face his fears.
The convoluted story and hijinks makes this story feel like it
should be for younger students, but the dialogue (science content) is for older
elementary kids. The art is reminiscent of the Sponge Bob cartoons. I thought
the story and the art was messy and confusing. If this series is much
requested, it can’t hurt to add this one to your collection, but that’s the
only way I would purchase. Go for graphic novels with better stories and better
art.
Elementary – NOT
