![]() She was talking a mile a minute and then throwing in a lot of what if's. As she continued on about the book, I could tell she really enjoyed it. ![]() She wondered what things she would encounter and if a body/life switch would be fun or full of stress. My daughter said she started to think about what life would be like if this happened to her and her sister or even a friend. She really liked how this graphic novel was about a female superhero and loved how Piper and Sloane, who are total opposites end up switching bodies and are forced to live each others lives. I knew it was a hit, as she was smiling as she walked towards me, and then put the book down on the kitchen counte,r before gleefully giving me two thumbs up. My daughter was quick to sit down and read this book cover to cover in under a half hour, and once she was done, she came to give me her thoughts. She was quick to show me the book, and I had to agree that the illustrations that filled the pages of this new graphic novel were amazing and so full of color and life, that they felt like they were jumping off the pages. ![]()

Martin’s evocative storytelling style and gift for gripping narrative are mostly absent from this dry history of the blood-drenched Targaryens, one of the central dynasties of the land of Westeros (setting of the Song of Ice and Fire series and the HBO show Game of Thrones). ![]() ![]() Just because a book is listed on Bookshelves, does not mean it is available through the Review Team.
