I'm thinking ahead to Christmas and would like some suggestions for 7yo DD2 who loves comics and/or books with beautiful War Hammer-style shaded illustrations please.
She's 'free reader' level (in her school, this equates to yr6 expected level or above), so fluency and comprehension won't be a barrier, but obviously it needs to be age appropriate content. Bonus points if it is something that will take her more than half an hour to finish 🙏
She has done Dog Man and Cat Kid to death, but loves the humour. It is a very quick and easy read for her, but a go-to for comfort.
We've had a subscription to The Phoenix - successful, but needed a change for a bit. We'll reinstate at some point.
She's loved the Podkin stories and illustrations (whilst not a graphic novel, the atmospheric B&W illustrations really hit the spot).
The Bad Guys series has again been a resounding success both in humour and illustrations/style, if also another short-lived easy read.
A day in the life of a poo, a gnu, and you - much loved! Piqued her interest, when few non-fiction books get her attention.
She likes the Tom Gates style of layout and humour, but they're getting a bit same-y.
Asterix - not a winner, sadly. Her sister got really into it from DD2's age, but DD2 hasn't found the love (yet...).
She loved the Chris Mould version of The Iron Man.
I'm planning on buying her a copy of Hugo Cabret, but would like something humourous and ideally more comic strip-style to go with it under the tree. (Also open to other suggestions more generally too if it fits her tastes, as we always need more to direct her towards!)
