Square Fish Compass South: A Graphic Novel (Four Points, Book 1)

Buena novela gráfica para aquellos que quieran ofrecer a los jóvenes lectores una aventura "de las de antes", con veleros, piratas, tesoros,...con toques dickensianos, siguiendo las peripecias de dos hermanos huérfanos intentando mejorar su destino.

I found this book randomly placed on a shelf in barnes n noble and was drawn by the style of illustrations. I bought it and read it on my flight the next day, and I must say, even as an adult in my mid twenties I was captured! Though it is a rather easy read, the story keeps you on your toes, and the illustrations are absolutely gorgeous! I shared it with my boyfriend and he didn't put it down until he was finished. A new series for our ever growing graphic novel/ comic book collection for sure. I was hoping to find the second volume available through here, but it seems it won't be out for a little while, but we will definitely grab a copy when it does.

A great story about adventure, learning, growing up and family.

I'm very tired and just home from work but since my book came today and I read it and I LOVED IT! So forgive this sleepy review but I wanna gush about it! It’s about two red headed twins who go through hard times of (apparently) joining a gang after their dad goes missing for months. When they find an article in the newspaper about two missing red headed twins - they decide to fake their names and pretend to be the missing twins. Until they run into two OTHER red headed twins with the same idea!! Shenanigans ensue, there are PIRATES! BOATS! SAILING! STORMS! A QUICK JUNGLE SCENE!? LOTS OF DEATH THREATS! (because I mean, pirates and gangs) But ALSO! TWINS! TWO TWINS EVEN!! THAT’S DOUBLE THE AMOUNT !!! If any of that sounds good to you, check out this comic!!

Girls loved it.
