Emerson, Marcus Bad guy is a Two-Word Word (Recess Warriors#2), 150 pages. GRAPHIC NOVEL. Roaring Brook (Holtzbrinck), 2017. $13. Language: G (0 swears); Mature Content: G;
Violence: G.
A play on the imaginary games of recess, readers continue
the adventure with Bryce, Yoshi, Scrap, Juliet, and Clinton. This time they
must face off with the super villain Simon –who has enthralled the other
students into doing anything that he says. Will Bryce and Juliet be able to
save the day in a big way? Featuring incredible graphic novel illustrations.
This book features some of the best graphic novel illustrations
that I have ever seen. The story is creative, funny, and inventive. That being
said, I didn’t enjoy reading it –why? It borders right on the line between real
and pretend. Younger readers won’t get the distinction and find the plethora of
characters very confusing. Older reader will just be upset that the whole story is probably maybe just pretend, while they are used to reading some pretty
amazing adventures in other graphic novels that are less questionable.
