Calamity Jack

OH BOY! I've been waiting for this one! I loved Rapunzel's Revenge by this trio, and Calamity Jack did not disappoint!This one starts out with Jack's back-story and how he happened to meet Rapunzel while out West. We get to know his history and a little bit more about what makes him tic. The next section deals with Jack and Rapunzel going to the city to see Jack's mom and for him to make up for some past indiscretions. Unfortunately, the man who Jack originally ran from, Blunderboar, is now in charge of the supposed "safety" of the citizens. Blunderboar also has Jack's mom as a captive because he wants his revenge on Jack for stealing his goose that lays golden eggs.It's up to Jack to come up with a plan to restore real law and order to the city, rescue his mom, and find a way to stop the Ant People.I love this whole graphic novel. The characters are believable, especially Jack. You really get to see his insecurities and how he makes himself get over them. A very important concept for all of us to remember!Notes on the Cover:Jack, Rapunzel and a couple of new characters who, honestly, I really enjoyed: Pru and Freddie Sparksmith. Bright colors, eye-catching and vibrant. What more could you ask for?

Hi!I would recomdend this book for the cliff hanger fans. It is just just it disappoints me when it is just like"WE ARE CUTTING YOU OFF" at the end. I really do not like when it is a cliff hanger but I really recomend this book! Nathan Hale,Dean Hale and Shannon Hale if your reading this please keep up the awsome books!

Great book in all the ways - writing, illustration, quality condition; however, seller failed to disclose that this copy is autographed with a note to someone named Nicholas inside the front cover.

One of the best picture books, can’t wait to let my kids read it!

The Hales do it again! Starting off with 'Rapunzel's Revenge' they gave us a rip-roaring adventure with fantastic illustrations and now continue the adventure here with 'Calamity Jack'. My daughter (11 yrs) kept bringing this home from the school library and reading it over and over. (Before then, it had been difficult finding a book that captivated her) It is a graphic novel, but holds so much more than a simple comic book. There is a solid plot, and character development, and we see new things in it whenever we open it up. The illustrations are detailed and fun for even early readers and adults alike to follow the adventure!

Nathan Hale came to my little boys' (grades 3 and 5) elementary school, and they both got interested in his books, starting with "Treaties, Trenches, Mud and Blood." My 3rd grader had fallen into a little slump and wasn't too interested in reading, and these books totally got him interested again! Even though the books are comic strip style (I prefer they reach chapter books), they have lots of history in them, which I loved. Since then, both boys have asked for and read all of his books! Thank you, Nathan Hale!!

My daughter is 10-years-old and requested this book. She read Princess Academy and wanted more from the same author. The book is written like a comic book...and I wasn't sure she would like it, but she absolutely loved it!

Good

Not quite as good the brilliant 'Rapunzel's Revenge', this is still an amusing adventure, with excellent artwork, strong characters, and a mad-cap plot which races along, with it's own interpretation of the fairytales we know and love.

My kids loved Rapunzel's Revenge and they were super excited to read Calamity Jack. They were not disappointed. As soon as the book arrived my son read it from cover to cover, then my daughter, then my other son, then my daughter read it again. They are really hoping that the Hale's will come out with another book to add to the series soon.

Good book
