About Deluge:

About the Book:

12 year old Laura was just a normal girl from Seattle when her mother decided to move to a mysterious town in the midwest. The moment they arrive in their new home hundreds of frogs rain from the sky. Her quirky new neighbor has a house full of knick knacks and odd tiny creatures beckoning from the shadows, and there's a terrible curse on the town that makes every summer storm a life threatening event. Welcome to the town of Deluge.

My Review:

Deluge is a wonderful graphic novel. Laura and her mother move from the West Coast to the Midwest, leaving behind everything Laura has ever known. Upon arrival in Deluge, frogs start raining from the sky, there is talk of rain that burns the citizens, and a curse. Laura discovers other oddities about the town, its inhabitants, and is history. Just as Laura starts to investigate the many mysteries of Deluge, the book ends. 

I was excited to meet Laura and learn about her new neighborhood. The artistry is phenomenal and loved the designs and color palette used to bring this graphic novel to life. The story can be a bit hard to follow if you don't read the text bubbles in the correct order but once you get the hang of it, the story flows. Frogs, acid-like rain, curses, and more fill this fun and quick read. There are a lot of unique features about the book and I can't wait to see what happens in book two. 

I was provided a copy of this book.
