The Fog Mound trilogy by Susan Schade and Jon Buller, bills itself as part graphic novel part heroic fantasy, and an adventure like no other! And it is all true! I LOVE this book! A week of reading books with squirrels as main characters - realistic squirrels, cartoonish squirrels, villainous quasi-medieval squirrels - has lead me here to Travels of Thelonious (published in
Looks amazing...ordered the first one...will let you know what we think. Thanks!
I agree with Tanya about this series. I don't understand why it didn't win the Caldecott, Newberry, and Heisman trophies. And I don't only say that because my wife wrote the story and I drew the pictures.
You are so right, Jon, you and Susan were totally robbed of the Heisman this year!!! Thanks for the comment and let us know when we might see Book 4... <BR/><BR/>Keep up the fantastic work you two!!<BR/><BR/>Tanya
This was a big hit with our whole family (mom, dad, 6yo and 4yo) - a great way to get my 4 year old engaged with longer books. I actually rushed everyone through dinner last night so we could get to the library before it closed to pick up Faradawn.
So, so glad you all enjoyed FOG MOUND!!! I think that it is a wonderfully unique book and I am so glad to know that it is being read and enjoyed! I love that you rushed through dinner to make it to the library to get book 2!!
We've now finished the Trilogy - really enjoyed all the books. Daughter is having a hard time with the concept of a Trilogy - she wants more Thelonius! I loved the alternating graphic / narrative chapters.
Just checked into the website for Buller & Schade and they have a new graphic novel titled THE PERILS OF POUSETTE to be released in France and eventually the US. I think you should have your daughter write to them asking for more!! I tried to no avail...
I will - she wrote to Marianne Malone after reading 68 Rooms, and was SO Excited to get a response almost immediately.
Wow! That's so cool!
We've read the trilogy and have recommended it to several others. Daughter was not quite 4 when she picked it out at B&N as the only book that she wanted -- and she could not get enough of it. Now she happily spends hours reading and revisiting the first book herself since it is the only book (of the 3) we own. The others came from the library. Exciting and clean story for the little
THANK YOU THANK YOU for sharing your experience with FOG MOUND!! I think these books are so fantastic and want everyone to read them. Knowing that your daughter - from the age of 4 - has been enthralled with them is so great to hear. Write to the creators and beg them to write more!! It's been 3 years!!!
Not sure why, but I couldn't get my kids into this series. I just re-ordered all three, as my 8-year-old is more into graphic novels now than she used to be -- maybe this time it will grab her.
Hope so! Glad I reposted this review - I hope to bring a whole new crowd of fans to this series.
