Available:
hardcover & Paperback
THE MYSTERY BOXES is a
collection of seven short graphic novels. Each story is about a mysterious box
that will change the life of the person who handles it forever. Some of the
stories are sad. Some are funny. They all have beautiful color graphics. And
what's really fun is that each person finds a different box with different
contents and very different outcomes. One has a wax doll inside. Another is a strange puzzle box. Another is a vast
floating box with an alien inside. And four other extraordinary boxes with
puzzling contents.
This
is an excellent collection of graphic tales appropriate for the middle grade
reader. The mysterious contents of the different boxes offer a variety of
challenges for the young people who open them. The artwork is outstanding.
Target audience: grades 5-7
Mystery /suspense: Great
Kid appeal: High
