A review by skylarh
The Librarian from the Black Lagoon by Jared Lee, Mike Thaler

5.0

I think this series of books simultaneously satisfies my children’s varied desires for books that are a little bit scary, funny, related to their own lives, and happily resolved. It has all the components they enjoy individually rolled up into one. I find most children’s series of this kind become increasingly disappointing as you move on in the series; the first is always the best, but soon they become repetitive and somewhat dull rip-offs of each other. This is not the case for me with the Black Lagoon series; each one is uniquely enjoyable despite the familiar (and for kids, comforting) pattern. This is one of my two favorites in the series.
