Calamity Jack | Shannon Hale, Dean Hale

3 posts | 8 read | 1 to read

Jack likes to think of himself as a criminal mastermind...with an unfortunate amount of bad luck. A schemer, plotter, planner, trickster, swindler...maybe even thief? One fine day Jack picks a target a little more giant than the usual, and one little bean turns into a great big building-destroying beanstalk. With help from Rapunzel (and her trusty braids), a pixie from Jack's past, and a man with inventions from the future, they just might out-swindle the evil giants and put his beloved city back in the hands of good people ....while catapulting themselves and readers into another fantastical adventure.

so-so

Between a pick and a so-so. I like the steampunk take on the Jack and the Beanstalk tale, but the story felt a little all over the place. The illustrations really work, though, and I appreciated the diversity. I think the intended #middlegrade audience would enjoy this.

My expectations may have been a little too high, so this wasn't quite as good as its predecessor Rapunzel's Revenge was for me. But still a great graphic novel and I recommend them both. One book finished for the #24in48 readathon!
