The Misadventures of Salem Hyde

review 1: Another fun graphic novel from the author/illustrator who did Knights of the Lunch Table, this one starring a girl and her M.A.C. (magical animal companion) cat. The relationship of Salem (girl) and Whammy (cat) is reminiscent of Calvin and Hobbes. But this time it's not so much an overactive imagination that causes some issues, it's overconfidence in magic abilities. Lots of humor, likable characters, and there's even a little bit of learning for the reader as Salem and her fellow students compete in a spelling bee with plenty of mix-ups over homophones.
review 2: I was skeptical at first, but about halfway through this book I started to really enjoy myself. Random jokes started to coalesce into a real story. Salem Hyde is a handful, but ultimately endearing... more. The humor is a little punny for my taste, but there's some smarts in it too. My only hangup is that when Whammy flips upside down his feet and tail look like a face. Not sure why, but I found this distracting. less
