review 1: Summary: This is a graphic novel about the Lego Ninjago series. The focus of this book is the argument between the "bad guys" of the world of Ninjago. This book's intended audience is children aged 6-10. Appeal: The appeal of this book is the Lego brand - children love Legos and the graphic novel aspect is unique.Implementation: I would use this book in a public library setting in the Youth section. I don't think it's great to have so much branding in the book, but I would put it in the center of a display to catch the attention of the youth. I would surround it with other graphic novels and the patrons might be interested in this book and then want to come back for more.
review 2: Fans of LEGO or of the television series will enjoy this fun version of ... morethe stories. For those of you not familiar with it, think of a cross between Naruto and He-Man [Master of the Universe], but with LEGO designs.The book is broken down into short stories, each roughly the length of a modern comic book, so even reluctant readers won't have to commit to a long session of reading in order to complete a story.The hero ninjas are cute but good. The villains are cute but evil. There are magic weapons, ninjutsu skills, incompetent minions, all cute. No, really. It's hard to explain, but it works, at least in this context.Kids will devour this series IF they don't overdose on the cuteness. less
