Sherlock
Holmes meets the Wayside School in this Middle Grade supernatural sleuthing
graphic novel about the Flick brothers – four siblings searching for
explanations to outbreaks of supernatural strangeness and otherworldly
weirdness in their Edwardian-era hometown.
A bump in
the night? They’re on the case! At Strander House, things are…weird. There’s an
ogre wedged in the closet, and you have to be careful not to slip on the leak
coming from the ocean in the attic. What’s possibly weirder than the fact that
you can walk into the bathroom and end up in next Tuesday are the four brothers
who investigate these strange supernatural occurrences…the Brothers Flick!
Leo,
Desmond, Remy, and Cub seek to get to the bottom of every shadow you swear you
saw move. If they happen to stumble upon answers to the mysterious disappearance
of their own family along the way, all the better. For fans
of Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events, Gravity
Falls, Whispering Pines, the Hardy Boys, the Winterhouse
series, the Greenglass House series, and the Wayside School series!
My Thoughts:
I have found that Middle Grade graphic novels are my favorite from the genre. I adore the wholesomeness and the nostalgia that they tend to bring. The Brothers Flick was a fun adventure that will definitely appeal to the target audience.
The story follows 4 brothers who live in an orphanage and solve mysteries that occur there. The artwork was bright and colorful but I did find that the story was a bit difficult to follow at times. I didn’t realize until the end of the book that one of the brothers uses sign language. There were also some loose ends that left me with a few questions (I’m not sure if this will be a series.)
The content was very clean and appropriate for all ages. The story was interesting and I would love to revisit these characters again in the future. Definitely recommended!
I received this book from the author/publisher to read and review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
My Rating
4/5 stars
Reviews:
“… the
metaphor of “impossible doors” leading toward unending universes, where even
the smallest changes reverberate, provides a unique framework for themes of
grief and healing.” – Publishers Weekly
“…enjoyable.” – Kirkus
“… this graphic novel will attract mystery and adventure fans by the
droves…” — Kirkus
“… a “Jonny Quest meets the Hardy Boys” vibe with a few modern
twists…” — Kirkus
