  “A little graphic novel build up for middle school readers. Recommend to those who are exploring this genre at a young age.”

  “Booktalk: One night you wake up from a bad dream and you hear some strange noises outside. You grab your flashlight and go outside to see what the noise is. What you find is a huge, baby-faced purple monster trying to bite your flashlight. What should you do? Take the monster home, feed it tuna sandwiches and try to keep other people from seeing him. Which works for a little while until the purple monster shows you a picture of his home in the newspaper. He wants to go back home. And you have to figure out where that is and how to get him there. ”

  “Portia doesn't fit in at school - she reads above everyone else's level, she can't make friends, and she has trouble keeping her mind on class. Portia, more than anything, is lonely. And then she finds Jellaby, a purple dragon creature with a sense of humor and a brave streak. She has problems keeping Jellaby a secret - Jason, Portia's classmate and carrot-lover, quickly discovers him. Both Jason and Portia work to find out where Jellaby came from and how to get him home, all the while hinting that there may be a connection between Jellaby and Portia's missing father.
  
  I thought this was a terrific book, but I wanted more more more! I've heard that Kean Soo has said one of the inspirations was Calvin and Hobbes, and I did think a lot of the strip while I was reading it, but I spent a lot of time thinking of Susie rather than Calvin. I can't wait until the next book comes out, because this felt a little short.”
