review:
Poor Horrendo. He lives in a village full of pirates. He goes to school to learn to be a pirate, and he lives in fear of being captured by pirates and forced to work on their ships. But worst of all is the witch that cursed him at birth. She cursed him so that he is not able to curse. In a village full of pirates, this makes him stand out in a really bad way.
When he is inevitably caught by pirates, he makes them french toast and soup and is polite. The pirate captain can't understand this in the slightest, so this causes a conflict.
It's a fun re-release of a book in graphic novel form. Anna Fienberg hits all the young reader buttons, silly humor, slightly gross jokes (and bleeding pirates), and adventure. Remy Simard's art feels like a Cartoon Network adaptation, but that means the look is familiar, without being a media tie-in. Good for 8 and up, and I enjoyed it.
