Fish Boy is an original beautiful children's book by Vanita Oelschlager following the tale of 'The Fish Boy' a tale passed down by a wise old Inuit. The story is set in the Arctic lands of North America following Fish Boy and his new father as their struggles against neighbouring villages teaches the reader why kindness is is always the better option to choose.

I am always excited to see books set in different cultures showing the reader a new perspective and especially in a children's book as you don't often read about the Inuit culture.

The art is beautifully drawn bringing great views to the open white planes of the Arctic and even as an adult I enjoyed reading this story which provided a nice lesson for the reader.

Graphic Novel Review: Invincible compendium volume 3 by Robert kirkman TS

Invincible Compendium Volume 3 By Robert Kirkman Writer: Robert Kirkman Artist: Ryan Ottley , Cory Walker , John Rauch , Jean-Francois Beaulieu , Nathan Fairbairn Cover: Ryan Ottley , Nathan Fairbairn Published: July 18, 2018 This is my most anticipated graphic novel for the past five years! So I start this by disclosing that I am a huge fan of Robert Kirkman and the whole Invincible series to start with, I first read the compendium volume 1 maybe eight years ago as a gift from my brother and managed to finish it in a matter of days. I started this series late to the party and thankfully only had two years to wait for the second volume which was also incredible but unfortunately with just how many issues are packed into these compendiums I have had a five year wait for this third volume to be published and I have to say, it was worth the wait. The story being issue to issue jumps right in from the last so ...

Graphic Novel Review - Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys: The Big Lie by Anthony Del Col

Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys: The Big Lie by Anthony Del Col Buy it here Something terrible has happened in the nice town of Bayport, Frank and Joe Hardy's father has been murdered and they're suspected of the crime. Only with the help of Nancy Drew can the boys clear their names and find out who really killed their father. Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys is a great modern take on the crime solving cast with a dark noir theme throughout. I felt the darkness in the art was a great take on the story bringing the duo into their more mature lights. I had never read any of the Hardy Boy or Nancy Drew stories but have really enjoyed this and would read further if this style of writing was a route that it went down again, it is defiantly worth a read for everyone who likes a crime solving graphic novel.

Recipie Book Review - The Vegan Cookbook by Adele McConnell

The Vegan Cookbook By Adele McConnell Publisher: Watkins Media ISBN: 9781848993389 Number of pages: 176 Buy it here Adele McConnell teaches the reader that vegan eating is not about what you can't eat but about what you can eat and how easy it is to enjoy a plant based diet. The book begins with an explanation about what vitamins are provided from which ingredients teaching the reader how easy it is to get what you need from the easiest of ingredients. She teaches that vitamin B12 is not found in plants but can be supplemented from fortified Nutritional Yeast which she uses in an incredible vegan cheese sauce. I especially enjoyed that she provided a recipe to create your own nut milk which I have enjoyed making. Adele pairs wonderful recipes with beautiful images which will have your mouth watering and excited to get into the kitchen. This is not just for the vegan who is new to a pant based kitchen but even for the seasoned vegan who is looking f...
