Eat, Read, and Be Mommy

When I’m in need of some fluffy reading, I’m a Regency romance sort of person, while my 11-year-old would re-read her favorite graphic novels every week if she could. Breena Bard’s Trespassers is likely to be her version of fluff; while it lacks the depth of Svetlana Chmakova’s or Victoria Jamieson’s books, it’s got fluctuating friend dynamics, a summer lakeside getaway, and a people-oriented mystery. (Also one miniscule editing fail that amused me greatly. We’ll see if she spots it!) Bard’s art is less expressive than is my preference, but it gets the job done, and the plot line I was keeping an eye on as ‘potentially older than my 11-year-old needs’ developed quite differently (in a pleasantly surprising sort of way) than I was expecting. All in all, Trespassers has some depth and a fun mystery; graphic novel fans should enjoy this one.
