If you click on an image, it will open another window and be large enough to read, FYI...



















When I first saw this book in a local Christian bookstore, I thought neat, what a cool cover, and then noticed the spine was such a bright orange. That is not something you normally see... Then I started flipping through it. The book is half novel and half graphic novel. It is amazing!

This would be the absolute perfect tool from that child that you know who refuses to read but it drowning gleefully in the new craze of manga and comics.
