Hello Bookbuds,

Here's my book review of 'Jonna and the Unpossible Monsters, Vol 1' written by Laura Samnee and Chris Samnee, art by Chris Samnee, colours by Mathew Wilson and letters by Cranki.

Book Review #4

Thank you so much Netgalley and Oni press for a free copy of this gorgeous book in exchange for an honest review.

Publication date: 17 August 2021

Rating: 4/5 ⭐

Synopsis: Rainbow is searching for her sister Jonna and her father. They were separated by the mysterious arrival of monsters on Earth. The monsters take up everything, destroy the lush green land and make it barren, dry up the water sources and attack people. Villages were destroyed and families scattered. After a year of searching Rainbow finds Jonna, who has been surviving in the wilderness alone, taking care of herself and fighting off the monsters. But there are darker things at play and the sisters find their way across this dangerous world, uncovering it's secrets, in search of their father.

Review: This is a beautifully illustrated graphic novel. The thing that caught my attention was the cover. It is so pretty, that I immediately had to pick up this book.

The art work and the colour scheme of this book is amazing. We can see the attention to details in each and every scene. The world building is vast, colourful and intriguing. I think kids would be hooked up by the beautiful work. The activity pages at the end of the book makes it even more interesting.

The characters were well developed. Even the side characters had their own distinct personality which was really good to see. I'd like to see more of Joanna's character development in the future books.

The story line is interesting, but to me it felt short and rushed. There were things that I thought could have been expanded a bit, like the destruction of the village and the search scenes, where Rainbow was searching for Jonna. I would have loved this book a lot more had there been like 60 or so more pages.

But, this is just volume 1 and the book sets up the story for many more volumes to come. I'm intrigued and would love to pick up the future volumes of this book to know where this story is headed.

This book is fits the tastes and interest of the middle graders, it has adventure, action and gorgeous artwork. But at the same time there are elements in the book that'll interest a young adult reader as well, like the monster attacks, the dystopian setting, the missing family.

I would recommend this book.
