Calamity Jack

(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Nathan Hale. In this companion to Rapunzel's Revenge, the swashbuckling plot again shines in the graphic-novel format. Frequent wordless stretches show adrenaline-fueled action sequences, while the panel arrangement, shifts in perspective, and sound effects drive the story forward as inexorably as a steam engine. This steampunk-flavored fairy tale will appeal to boy-, girl-, reluctant-, and eager readers alike.
