The Storm in the Barn by Matt Phelan

5.0

I have seen this book go by so many times at work and it never caught my interest. The only reason I picked it up was because I saw it on the list for best children’s graphic novels. I’m so glad I did! This book needs a better cover.

It was kind of historical fiction fantasy. Or maybe historical fiction magical realism. I don’t know which. Goodreads described it as a tall tale - I like that. I definitely loved the story. The art and use of color was amazing, too. It did a great job of showing time and location.

Even if readers don’t like historical fiction, they should give this book a chance!
