Coraline graphic novel
written by Neil Gaiman, illustrated by P. Craig Russell. HarperCollins
Reviewed by: Sam
Pink Me quick opinion: The usual flawless adaptation by P. Craig Russell - his mastery of the form is almost invisible, if that makes sense. One of the ten best graphic novels of the year.

Korgi 2: the cosmic collector
written and illustrated by Christian Slade. TopShelf
Pink Me quick opinion: Beautiful illustration. The juxtaposition of girls with wings with vicious little toy robots is very satisfying. Not exactly Barbarella for nine-year-olds, but maybe you get the idea. EXCELLENT for animal-loving little girls.

Little Vampire
written and illustrated by Joann Sfar. First Second Books

Salt Water Taffy, book 1: the legend of Old Salty

Pink Me quick opinion: Predictable even in its surrealness. I can't sell it at the library. Mom exists only to hand out food and batteries. Ehh.

The Amulet: the stonekeeper, book 1
written and illustrated by Kazu Kibuishi. GRAPHIX
Reviewed by: Fuse #8
Pink Me quick opinion: So full of borrowed elements from other books (Howl's Moving Castle, Spiderwick, Golden Compass), I had trouble keeping the rather bleak story straight. Amazing art though.
