Pokethon Catch Up Part 1

I could’ve done without a lot of the spider imagery, but for a book about spiders, I knew it had to be there. This entry in the series used a format that I think engages middle grade readers well with an unlikely protagonist, guiding the reader through the nonfiction topic.

I enjoyed this coming-of-age via a graphic novel with a tinge of magical realism where the character learns about himself and his family did helpful hints of his ghost grandpa.

I read these books not because they are stellar examples of narrative fiction but because they are popular amongst my middle schoolers. I enjoyed the art more in this most recent adaptation, although the story, in my opinion, tried to do too much.

I absolutely love the series and so to my students, primarily because of the punny title. I will have to go back and read book 3 because I mistake only assumed that I had already done so. 

This book was fine, but I was a bit taken it back when at one point one of the characters was wearing modern clothing because prior to that it read like a period piece. Overall not bad, just confusing.

I did not realize that several more volumes have been translated and published in English. I really enjoyed this volume and the deepening mystery

This book touched on some serious issues, but in a confusing manner without resolution, and then that ending made absolutely no sense

This was yet another excellent entry in the science comics series with an unlikely protagonist, guiding the reader through the non-fiction.

I loved the antics of the main character as she tries to keep the fact that she has a cat a secret. I will definitely continue in this cozy manga.

While not the best in this series, I still prefer this installment to others.

Another solid entry in the series.
