Radio Delley
For three best friends, a small town, endless days of summertime fun (and boredom), and an old radio form the recipe for an unforgettable adventure.
It's summer in Delley, a quiet town in the American Midwest. Perhaps too quiet for Jeremy, Stella, and Sam, three inquisitive kids with a desire to solve mysteries and seek adventure in a place that, to be honest, doesn't offer a lot of either. However, when Jeremy gets an old radio that connects him and his friends to a girl who needs their help, the adventure they find themselves in may be a bit more dangerous than they hoped for.
The three determined friends begin the search without knowing that what they find along the way will reveal a terrible secret that could change their lives forever.

Excited to see what students have to say at book club next week about this short graphic novel that includes humor and mystery. Hoping some of my students who have yet to join the literacy club, pick this one up and have a good experience with a book.

Ya know, this book is totally larger than the sum of its parts. It comes across as something of a reconstruction for kids horror. 'Stranger Things' and its ilk are all about deconstructing kids' horror as something legitimately terrifying; this is just a fun adventure. = )
The story isn't all that deep, the artwork is adorable if at times over-expressive, and the script itself isn't too interested in developing the leads. Heck, I had to look up the female protagonist's name, since IIRC it's never said in the actual book.
The brevity here saves it, though. If you're a fan of middle-grade graphic novels, this quick read will charm the pants off of you. It's barely a twenty-minute read, but it's a tight, FUN twenty minutes.

It was alright. It moves a bit fast, and the foreshadowing is really overt. They aren’t hiding anything, and that hurts the story when you get to what could be big reveals.
It really would have taken about 50 more pages to stretch the story to a degree that made the ending payoff. A bit of misdirection and a bit more subtlety too.
But it was a fun, quick read :)
