In this wordless, graphic novel, the images and drawings were stimulating and amazing. With the exception of the first page and the last page, which contains the biography of the characters, the entire book was filled with line drawings page after page. The detailed in the drawings were just

amazing. Throughout the story, there was enough suspense to keep the readers engaged.

Korgi Hollow is home to a race of people called the Mollies, whose companions are the loyal and brave korgis. Christian Salde’s Korgi: Book One Sprouting Wings, follows the adventures of a young Mollie named Ivy and her korgi puppy, Sprout. When Sprout ventures off chasing a butterfly, Ivy

follows him. However, they soon find themselves in the clutches of a frightening monster, called a gallump, and he’s planning on eating them for dinner! Just when it appears that all is lost, Sprout opens his mouth and fire bursts forth onto the gallump. The adventure continues as the enraged monster follows the pair back to Korgi Hollow and they are forced to flee for their lives. At the edge of a cliff it becomes evident that there is more to Ivy than meets the eye, as she jumps off the cliff and saves herself and Sprout.
This graphic novel is told in pictures, with no text. The expressions of the characters add to the story and different panels show what actions are taking place. Christian Slade places clues to the origins of the korgis in the book, but it remains a mystery and will have to be explained in later installments. The countryside is a strange mixture of woodland, and futuristic, as there are spaceship wrecks placed throughout the book. A wonderful blend of fantasy, mystery, and adventure, Korgi will appeal to readers in grades 3 and up.

Graphic "novel" with no words about a young Mollie named Ivy and her Korgi Sprout. Great adventures, plot twists, and a cliffhanger, with no words at all.

Good fun!

Sweet! I didn't know much about this book, so finding out it didn't have words was a surprise. I won't ruin any of the other fun surprises in the story, but I will say that these Korgi's are MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE. Like Transformers, only fuzzy.

I want to read more!

The artwork is lovely--it reminds me somewhat of Chris Riddell's work--and there's no dialogue to distract from it. The story is entirely in the imagery. And that story is good, but not great.
