Reason for Reading: Ds read aloud to me as his reader. He loved the first book in the series that he read.

Ds eagerly grabbed this book when I presented it to him as he had loved the other "Good vs Evil" book we had read. Written with the story told from the evil character's perspective on one half of the page and from the good character's on the other half. One can read the book up to three times for a different viewpoint each time. DS read this twice, once from each point of view. First he read...more

Another Capstone Publishing book, this line of graphic novels titled Good vs. Evil.
This is an interesting graphic novel that got me reading it twice just to see how it changed.

following the tagline of the series that "every story has two sides", finds a young boy facing off against an alien entity that wants to keep him as a snow globe - permanently. What I find absolutely fascinating about this series is that it's two parallel stories that run on top of each other. They suggest that the reader goes through one story, then the other, and then both at the same time (bouncing back and forth between the two). Reading both at the same time can make it a l...more

This graphic novel provides two takes on the same events. In one story, a boy spots a space toy that he must have, and in another version of the story, the shop owner spots something he must add to his own collection. Either way you read it, both end up very far from home.
