review:

'Gronk Volume 1' by Katie Cook is an adorable story of a monster who no longer wants to be a monster and the new family she finds herself with.



Gronk decides to leave her fellow monsters behind because they just don't find her very scary. She's actually pretty cute with her mop of orangish-blonde hair. When Gronk chases a kitty, she meets up with Dale who overcomes her immediate reaction and makes friends. Dale lives with her cat, Kitty, and her huge dog, Harli. Once they meet, the story becomes more a series of comic strips about their daily life. Things like Gronk trying to play on the cat tree, or Dale showing Gronk elements of geek culture through movies and games. The seasons are represented as well. The book ends with a nice Gronk gallery by other artists.



It was nerdy and cute and I really liked it. I loved all the referencs to Harry Potter and other things. The art is perfect for the story, and even though Gronk is a monster, there is nothing in here that kids couldn't read. I have Gronk Volume 2 on my reading list, and I'm looking forward to more adventures with Gronk.



I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Diamond Book Distributors, Action Lab Entertainment, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this cute graphic novel.
