review:

'Oddly Normal' by Otis Frampton is a pretty adorable graphic novel about a girl from two worlds who doesn't really fit into either. And she has a name that is odd, but not normal.



Oddly Normal is a soon to be 10-year old. She has green hair and pointed ears because her father is human and he mother is a witch. This makes her stand out among the kids at school. When her parents (and house) disappear, she is left in the care of her loopy aunt (on her mother's side) who whisks her off to a place called Fignation. Oddly has always been told she can't survive there, but she soon finds it a wondrous place. When her aunt makes her go to school, she finds that she doesn't really fit in here either. Will she and her aunt be able to figure out what happened to her parents (and her house)? We don't find out in this volume, but it's still a fun journey.



This collects the first 5 volumes of the ongoing series, and all the original cover art is collected at the end. The story doesn't finish in this volume, but it's still a good ride. Otis Frampton's storytelling and art are in good form here. It looks like this was a Kickstarter project, so a lot of other folks think this as good as I did.



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