From School Library Journal:
Grade 2-4–These two early chapter books work well for reluctant and/or transitional readers. In Joker, Mel works with his part-time magician dad, Magic Max, and attempts to do his own magic in school. If a trick doesnt work, he is teased by a jealous classmate. When his dad is kidnapped and held hostage at the bank where he works, Mel manages to foil the robbery and help rescue him. Themes of honesty, respect, teasing, and showing off are rolled into a simple yet intriguing mystery. Arf uncovers a greedy developers scheme to shut down the animal shelter when he tries to earn some money as a budding photographer in order to buy his favorite computer game. Through his shots, he is able to expose the villain. Both books use the balloon format for all dialogue, yet include enough narrative above and below the comic-book-style tableaux to develop a full story. Appended discussion questions and writing prompts provide easy follow-through for literacy centers or classroom libraries. Engaging, well-designed titles.–Rita Soltan, Youth Services Consultant, West Bloomfield, MI
