The Marvels
I just finished this book and it was wonderful it has over 400 pages of comic and 300 pages of story written into it and the hard cover book's paper does not feel cheap it feels super smooth (too smooth to my liking since I need to like lick my thumb for the next page.) and it has a gold side on the papers which makes it looks like it's more valuable than the actual price of it. I would recommend this book even though it's a children's book but I don't know how to explain this book but it really has a great story, Hence the reason I'm doing this thread since it's a really great book. I bought this at my school book fair for about $32.99 which I think is a great price for the quality of it. The summary of the story is; The Marvels opens with 400 pages of drawings telling the story of the fictional Royal Theatre in London and five generations of a family of actors. In 1766, young Billy Marvel runs off to sea, stowing away on the Kraken, the ship on which his older brother Marcus is a sailor. The ship sinks, and Billy is the sole survivor, along with his dog, Tar. Making his way eventually to London, Billy gets involved with the Royal Theater and becomes the progenitor of several generations of Marvels, great stage actors all. (source: https://bookpage.com/reviews/18690-b...s#.WIdzGlV9600) I won't spoil the rest of the story, even though the summary I would recommend reading it on your free time, It's really great. I'm also about to read The Zodiac Cycle from Disney I don't know who wrote it since I haven't read the cover or anything yet (I like to do this since I might stumble into great books like this one, I picked it up since I had a good feeling about it.) PS. It has gilted edges according to google or something but here's how the book looks like. Spoiler
