Eat, Read, and Be Mommy

My computer died, folks. DIED. That’s why you got no post on Wednesday, and that’s why this post is going to be short–I’m stuck on a laptop keyboard (I loathe laptop keyboards) with limited abilities as far as open tabs are concerned. (Those who know me know just how very tragic this is.) On the other hand, I had to post, because I finished a graphic novel that my girls are going to want. Surfside Girls: The Mystery at the Old Rancho is a normal sequel–evolving relationships among the main characters and a new mystery, but more of the same “two girls solve a mystery with the help of ghosts” formula. This is the tween version of a beach read, perhaps; it’s definitely a fluffy graphic novel, but it will interest its target audience. I appreciated the focus on California’s Mexican heritage, and the art is fun. The ghost/human boyfriend/girlfriend dynamics are a little odd, but again–I don’t think the target audience will complain.

That’s that, folks, because LAPTOP KEYBOARD. Goodnight all!
