Why or why not recommend the book? I enjoyed this book because it was a graphic novel, and it held my attention.  It was unusual because the setting was a playground in a busy neighborhood.  There were these two kids that go to the playground and see a kid there with a mask on. His name is Toothless.  They ask him about his name, and he smiles a wide, nearly toothless grin. Through encounters at the playground, they find out the playground has powers.  For instance, if you go down the slide you become older.  This book was fun to read, and I recommend it.

A boy named Hisao is in the park with a soccer ball when he kicks it away near a kid and asked for it back.  Then the kid throws it into a sand pit.  Hisao goes to get it but then the sand pit turns into snakes!  Then Hisao tries to save the boy and his friend!

I thought the book was AWESOME because it is filled with mystery and adventure!  Another reason I like it is because the pictures are AMAZING!  The pictures were amazing because of how detailed they are!
