Product Description

From School Library Journal

Grade 4-7–Abadazad is a magical graphic novel that Kate, 14, and her younger brother, Matt, had been reading about in old books. While under Kate's care five years earlier, he was kidnapped, and she is still having trouble dealing with the loss. Through some sort of magic, she is transported to the land of Abadazad, where her brother is, and she meets the characters from the books as she starts her quest to rescue him. Here the first book ends, and not much is resolved or explained. The format is a challenge because pages from the original stories are interspersed with Kate's diary, which then jumps into graphic-novel format that looks anime-ish. The text lacks pagination or chapter breaks and has a tiny font. The language of Kate's diary is colloquial, with asides in parentheses, and the pages of the old books begin and end in the middle of sentences. Dream Thief follows the same format; the pieces don't work any better together, and the plot is not clear. Although Kate has several adventures and meets creepy and creative characters, she does not find her brother, except as a vision in a pearl necklace, held captive in a pod of green goo. While graphic-novel fans might pick these books up, there is too much narrative text between the cartoons to hold their interest, and all but the most stalwart readers might decide that the format is just too confusing.–Sharon R.
