"I saw the stop-motion film based on this book quite a few times in 2012, and read the book in 2013."
"It's a strange and magical adventure of a girl who thought her life was miserable (I think, I don,t remember) but found a new world (which she escaped from)."
"It teaches amazing lessons that are brilliant for older kids (and adults). HIs novels are responsible for me staying up all night and being late for work, seeing if I can fit in a few paragraphs while in a public bathroom stall, canceling dinner plans, and other irresponsible shenanigans."
"Coraline is a scary, fascinating novel full of magic and evil."
"Young Coraline is indeed a very brave young heroine, empowered and very clever in the face of what the dangers are and lurk furtively in fairy tales! Young readers will find the adaptation to a two-dimensional situation easier to digest than an older, less flexible reader where the blurred realities are more burdensome. "Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.""
"Neil says in his forward that he literally cut nothing from this book because he wrote it a little at a time over a long period of time, and he picked his words so deliberately that when the book was published there was very little editing. I'm not going to bother with a synopsis, because most people have seen the movie, which is very similar to the book. That being said, Gaiman masterfully tempers his shock with sugar, providing enough light moments, humor, and fun to keep the children and adults reading this novel captivated and entertained."

Indies Choice Book of the Year * National Book Award Finalist * New York Times Bestseller * New York Times Notable Book * Kirkus Best Book * School Library Journal Best Book * Publishers Weekly Best Book * NPR Best Book * New York Public Library Best Book * Chicago Public Library Best Book. The New York Times bestselling graphic novel sensation from Noelle Stevenson, based on her beloved and critically acclaimed web comic. As sidekick and supervillain, Nimona and Lord Blackheart are about to wreak some serious havoc. Lord Ballister Blackheart, a knight, has assumed the role of a supervillain in order to expose the nefarious schemes of the kingdom's front organization, The Institute of Law Enforcement. Despite her anger management issues, the teen becomes Ballister's invaluable ally and together they form an alliance of mutual trust and dependence. Action scenes dominate as Nimona shifts with Hulk-like ferocity from frightful creatures such as a fire-breathing dragon to a docile cat or a timid child. A complementary color palette of Blackheart's muddy browns contrasts with Goldenloin's fresh transparent yellow-greens. cocreator.—Barbara M. Moon, Suffolk Cooperative Library System, Bellport, NY "Noelle Stevenson has a knack for capturing the humor and heart in a situation in just a few panels." --Rainbow Rowell, New York Times bestselling author of Eleanor and Park. "Awesome and adorable." "Sharp visuals, a nifty amalgam of fantasy and science fiction elements, and relationships drawn with complexity, wit, and depth create a world worth returning to again and again." Sharp visuals, a nifty amalgam of fantasy and science fiction elements, and relationships drawn with complexity, wit, and depth create a world worth returning to again and again. Nimona is beautifully flawed and refreshingly unstereotypical in a book that is both darkly witty and surprisingly touching. [Stevenson s] voice is clear and precise, her drawings confident, her use of color growing in depth and assurance as the story progresses. Those of you who haven't read Nimona yet are lucky, because you can buy the fantasy comic in book form instead of waiting for Noelle to post an update twice a week.

"Absolutely fun and exciting, it moved my feelings and made me laugh in many parts."
"Stevenson included some of her sketches and the Christmas minicomic interlude when Ballister and Ambrosius were children, plus the epilogue. It is somewhat small (page-wise) for a graphic novel, which is a bit disappointing, given the large page size online when it was just a webcomic."
"The world is fun and out there, the character more complex than you thought at first glance."

"The Firelord is cooling his heels in prison and his son, Zuko, is doing his best to work with the other kingdoms and restore order and balance to the world. But trying to undo a hundred years of occupation of the other kingdoms has unexpected consequences."
"It is not in whatever way predictable, in my opinion, and the complicated relationships in the Royal FIre Nation family are more fleshed out than ever before. As for the artwork, the artistic team continues to produce illustration that shows great attention to detail, including the very obvious physical and mental changes that the characters experience as they go through adolescence."
"It continues the life of Aang, Katara, Zuko, Sokka, Toph, Mai, Suki, Iroh and Ozai. This trilogy is named the promise because of the relationship that Zuko and Aang have after the war. The books revolves around this Promise. I suspect this comes from Sokka repeatedly calling Aang and Katara's PDA, Oogie."
"So I was thrilled when I head about this continuation graphic novel series, and preordered it immediatly. Everything we love about the series is there - the humor, the story, the incredible characters. And it picks up immediatly after we left off in season 3, even giving flashbacks to scenes I know I loved the first time. I'm excited for the next book, and I will be preordering that as well so I can read it ASAP."

"A book that should be on the shelf of every kids room, not only girls."
"But one work of caution...at the risk of being ostracized as a bigot in today's world of LGBT acceptance.....which I am usually on board with 100%, there is one biography on a young child that chose to undergo gender transformation that - quite frankly - made me uncomfortable reading to my same-aged daughter and son amidst the Amelia Earharts, Helen Kellers, Cleopatras, and Marie Curies of history. I also believe it is important to not contribute to disenfranchising groups of people for traits that may differ from your own, but I was surprised to discover how disappointed I was with this particular page in this particular book."

Their wonder inspired Going into Town , part playful guide, part New York stories, and part love letter to the city, told through Chast's laugh-out-loud, touching, and true cartoons. "What began as a mother’s illustrated mash note to Manhattan becomes a meandering map of Chast's hilarious mental approach to her beloved town, with all of its oddball shops, subterranean secrets and an abundance of visual stimulation." "[Chast's] Big Apple cityscapes burst with jumbled buildings, oddities of every variety, and her trademark loose-edged-drawn people." "What began as a personal guidebook for Chast's Manhattan-bound suburban daughter evolved into a whimsical, discursive paean to the city . As her own daughter prepared to move to the city for college, Chast compiled this volume that lets readers see New York through the artist's eyes." "Illustrator extraordinaire and native Brooklynite Roz Chast's new graphic memoir Going Into Town is a wide-eyed love letter to New York--or, more specifically, the streets, buildings, and sidewalk gum in Manhattan, as seen through the eyes of a Brooklyn family." "Observations and advice on making one's way through the city's diversions are mixed with the quirky character that oozes from the metropolis's every concrete pore. "Chast applies her appealingly shaggy drawing style and ever-so-slightly skewed worldview to New York’s subways, museums, ethnic restaurants, and other attributes." , will recognize and enjoy the unique blend of affection and sarcasm that Chast brings to her work while getting to know one of the world's most famous cities." "[A] guide book full of wonder and optimism, a polar opposite of most current-affairs tomes about New York on the shelves today. Even when [Chast] remarks disparagingly about tourists or rodents or trash, it's done with the lightest of touches, graced with vibrating illustrations of herself . "Roz Chast's breezy and winsome jaunt, Going into Town: A Love Letter to New York . "In nine illustrated chapters, Brooklyn native Chast celebrates Manhattan in all its glory."

"To explain my relation to Manhattan: I was a Connecticut suburb dweller for 45 years married to a NYC commuter who never wanted to return to The City on weekends so I rarely went. Chast divides the book into these topics, an introduction, layout (the map), walking around, how to use the subway, things to do, flora and fauna, food, apartments, and a chapter on how Manhattan is always changing and how it is different place to different kinds of people. Thank you to Roz Chast for finally teaching me the layout of the city, the visuals with the easy to understand explanation was effective when just hearing these things said to me by my husband and my friend failed."

There's information about inking drawings, laying out panels and adding speech bubbles and sound effects. Everything included in the book is great and it's absolutely packed with helpful information on every page, but I do think the author has even more to offer and I'd love it if this turned out to be the first part of a series.
