Title: Calamity Jack
Author: Shannon Hale and Dean Hale
Publisher: Bloomsbury Children's books
Pub Date: Jan. 2010
Galley: Yes
Nominate for Teens’ Top 10: Yes
Annotation: When Rapunzel and Jack find out that the mayor of Jack's hometown is
secretly doing harm to the town, it's up to Jack and Rapunzel to save the day.
Recommend: Yes
Convince us to read the book: It's a cute little story that is a continuation of the book Rapunzel's Revenge. It includes little connections to childhood stories (like in this one the book is based off Jack and the Beanstalk). Since the stories short and easy to read it's not very time consuming and is definitely worthwhile. This series is laid back and fun and works for all ages.
Compelling Aspect of the Book: The best part of the book is the adventures that Rapunzel and Jack seem to always be getting caught up in. There's always something going on which is important if the story is short, like this one is.
Did the cover tempt you and/or reflect the contents of the book: The illustrations in this series are very vivid and playful. It definitely pricks your interest when you see it.
Did you finish: Yes
Age Range: All ages
Quality: 4Q Better than most
Popularity: 4P Broad general teen appeal
