review:
'Pranks and Attacks!' featuring Tao, the Little Samurai, is silly, wisecracking fun for younger readers. Each page is a complete multi-panel gag that features Tao trying to game the system, and the system most of the time not letting him.
Tao is a student in a martial arts school, and he likes to play jokes on people around him that usually backfire. Tao is also usually late for school. The one time he makes it to class on time, he learns that the class has been moved across campus. Tao doesn't like doing chores, and usually tries to trick someone else into doing them for him.
It's a cute and funny comic and perfect for younger readers. Tao thinks he's a lot more clever that he is and usually pays the price for that. Art by Nicolas Ryser is good. Gags by Laurent Richard (and translated by Edward Garvin) are pretty funny. It's a bit short at 63 pages, but that might be the right length for a Tao-sized reader.
I was given a review copy of this graphic novel by Lerner Publishing Group and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to read this funny graphic novel.
