The Silver Eyes Graphic Novel by: Scott Cawthon, Kira Breed-Wrisley, and Claudia Schröder

 


The Silver Eyes is mostly based off of the first three games of Five Nights at Freddy’s. For those who don’t know, Five Nights at Freddy’s is this horror game franchise created by Scott Cawthon. The basics of the first three games is that you are a nighttime security guard working at different locations within Freddy Fazbear’s company. While they work just fine in the daytime, the animatronics there can become a little quirky at night. Your goal is to survive each night with limited power and animatronics who are on the hunt for you. 


Even though the original book is a novel, they did a great job of creating it as a graphic novel. The art is amazing and really shows the details of Freddy, Bonnie, and the rest of the crew. While the plot can be a little confusing at times, you can still make sense of what's happening. You can see where the plot of the book uses lore from the games and where its entirely new concepts.


The book stars Charlie who with her friends, decide to check out the old Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria on the 10th anniversary of the murders. When they find a way inside and start to check it out and find more than they were expecting. As they try to figure out how the murders are tied to Freddy's they also have to survive the animatronics who are on the hunt for them in the Pizzaria.


Charlie is the daughter of Henry Emily. In the game lore, Charlie was the first victim of the serial killer William Afton who co-founded the Fazbear company with Henry as his business partner. After her death she was found by the security puppet animatronic who allowed her soul to possess the puppet. She later helped the other child victims posses the animatronics. While it is clear that she is alive in this book, most of the murders that happened at Freddy's still happened.


This book is a thrilling horror that really pulls you into the world of Five Nights at Freddy's. If you're into the horror genre, than I recommend this book!

    Good review Chloe! I've only played a little of the game, and I think the concept is really interesting. I can imagine how the graphic novel would do a better job of showing the animatronics better than a book description. The game was very horrific and it keeps you on your toes. Great job!

Reviewing Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner

Image
After reading Emmie's review of Crying in H Mart, I was really intrigued and wanted to read the book for myself. To me, it was the perfect combination of a sad story and connection to the popular Korean market that I loved called H Mart. Emmie was certainly correct, this book was truly so well written and has easily placed in my top 3 books. "For 엄마," Zauner starts the book with "For Mom," which is such a great way to start the memoir. She walks the readers through her and her mom's relationship from high school all the way until college and how they didn't maintain a great relationship with each other. Describing all the times she felt like she didn't feel like she belonged anywhere due to her Korean and Caucasian identity. Before Zauner received the devastating news of her mother's terminal pancreatic cancer, she was distant from her family but that quickly changed. After hearing the news, Zauner returned to her family in Oregon to spend time

Diary of a Tokyo Teen by Christine Mari Inzer

       Diary of a Tokyo teen is Christine’s illustrated guide to her trip to Japan as a 16 year old Japanese-American. As she says in the book, her mom is Japanese and her dad is American and she has lived in America for almost her whole life. She however at first lived in Japan and then moved when I believe she was around 6. She talks about the differences between when she lived there and when she returned years later, and I find that really interesting to see the similarities and differences between a place you've been to and how it's changed since you left.      She describes all the places she went providing some pictures as well as her own drawings, the people she saw, and the crazy adventures she went on. Each page is about something fun, interesting, and different. W hether it be ramen, maid cafes, or chasing down a geisha, they show many random fun things to see and do if you were to ever go to Japan. They also provide really interesting facts about Japanese culture a

Mailboat Ⅰ The End of the Pier by: Danielle Lincoln Hanna

Here it is, the long awaited review of the first Mailboat book: Mailboat Ⅰ The End of the Pier. After first discovering this book in the recommended section of a Lake Geneva magazine, I took full interest in this suspense novel. Mailboat takes place in Geneva Lake, Wisconsin (also known as Lake Geneva, but Lake Geneva is one of the cities on the lake aside from Fontana and Williams Bay) a place that I have a lot of special memories tied to because a lot of my family lives there. Mailboat is about a girl named Bailey who works on the mailboat. But when delivering the mail one day, she misses the boat and lands in the water, only to find a dead body tied to the pier. Bailey along with police officials and the captain of the mailboat Tommy get tied up in the mystery as they try to figure out the identity of the body, and who the murderer was. Before reading you should know two things. The first is that each chapter is from the perspective of a different character. Because of this, it can
