Book Review
Anyone who enjoys reading comic books would love this book
The book is about Barb, Thunder, Raven, Witch Head, Pork Chop and Mitch.
To summarise Barb wants to help fight Witch Head because she doesn’t want Bailiwick to be destroyed. Barb’s Mom saves her from Witch Head. The witch puts a spell on the shadow army and Barb saves them.
The story is set around caves, mountains, forest and woods. I would say it’s inspired by Roman times.
I really enjoyed the book it was exciting and thrilling because I didn’t know what was going to happen next.
I love reading comic books because they are easy to read and follow. This book has loads of colourful illustrations and good art work. There are pictures and speech bubbles and brilliant drawings all the way though.
It made me feel happy reading the book. There is a sad bit in the book but overall it is full of fun and contains exciting pages.
I think there are these messages in the story:
1/Being strong protecting yourself saving others;
2/Sticking together.
3/Being loyal.
