Personally, I preferred the regular novel and found it easier to follow along, but I know that my visual students would much prefer this book! Such a fun addition to an already fantastic series!
I am a big fan of graphic novels. When I say Stuart Gibbs bestselling series was going graphic I had to read it. I still love the story of a school that teaches kids to be spies and then sends them on missions. The graphic novel was decently done. The illustrations are fine, but there was something about the way it was colored that turned me off a bit. Please be aware I was reading a digital galley and that may be the reason why. Overall these books are a lot of fun for kids of all ages, and now they are in a format that will appeal to reluctant readers, and maybe even lead them to picking up the rest of the series in chapter book form.
I really enjoyed this graphic novel. It was fast paced and I didn't know right away who the mole was. It was a great read and I already have it in my classrooma and kids are on a wait list to read it.
I received an ARC of this title from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own and were not affected by the free copy.
Spy School has finally been turned into a graphic novel! I love the series, so I was very excited to see this get adapted. It was very true to the original, which I was pleased with. There were a few things that were slightly different, but it didn't really affect the story. The art was good, but I wish it had been a little better-just a personal preference for me. It was very cartoonish, which most middle schoolers will love. I loved getting to see what the characters looked like!
It was also very easy to follow, so new graphic novel readers will be able to follow the storyline with minimal to no confusion. This book is perfect for reluctant readers, graphic novel fans and anyone that loves Spy School. I look forward to the rest of the series being adapted!
Spy School is a huge hit in my library. Graphic novels are a huge hit. This book will be in constant check out. Well done transition from novel to graphic novel
The very popular Spy School series becomes a hit graphic novel! The graphic novel format was immersive and a great way to present the start of the series. I can't wait for more!
I had my 11 yr old read this and in his opinion it was just okay. He liked the illustrations but he said the dialogue was not great and didn't keep his interest as well as other graphic novels he has read. After reading it myself I have to agree with him it was just okay.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC in return for an honest review.
