Book Review

This graphic novel is adventurous…lots of vehicle chases... there are some made up words you might not have heard before!

*Parental warning: acts of violence throughout – keep away from younger children who might get upset.

This is the 3rd book please read the 1st and 2nd books before this one.

I like graphic novels. This one is adventurous…lots of vehicle chases… there are some made up words you might not have heard before. The helicopter noise is called ‘wokkita’. I tried it out with my Lego helicopter!

Don’t be fooled by Princess Beautiful’s appearance… The cat looks quite nice and fluffy but is the one who does all of the violence! The ending is quite good. There is a funny joke on page 88 ‘someone let the cat out of the bag!’

The pictures are black, white and red. I like the cat pictures on the page numbers.

I liked that the author put a picture of his cat Maude at the end – she looks like a nice cat but nothing like Beautiful. I wish I had Maude … (daydreaming!).
