Wonton Soup James Stokoe is a graphic novel. This first volume of a presumed series features Johnny Boyo, one of the premiere chefs in the galaxy who's currently in charge of a space delivery truck.
We spend time in Johnny's world travelling through space. As the story progresses, Johnny returns to his home planet and visits his old cooking school. The result is a cook-off ala Iron Chef of the Universe.
The book is comprised of many wildly adventurous humor-ladened chapters, that, for me were better to sample in small servings.
I enjoyed the storyline and Stokoe's artwork. He has quite an imagination.
Sight by Adrienne Maria Vrettos - 15 year-old Dylan has a secret she withholds from all her friends. Her mother, the sheriff and lead deputy in this small town of Pine Mountain (Paradise) know that Dylan has the psychic ability to see recently dead abducted children. She has helped the police solve eight abductions as the book begins. The first thing that struck me was that there sure were a lot of abductions for a small town area. But the strain in credulity is made up by the good writing.
Dylan is particularly haunted by her first vision - the death of a five-year-old classmate named Clarence. A new girl, Cate, moves to town with her father. With Cate, the tragedy of Clarence is finally resolved.
