Homicidal Psycho Jungle Cat: a Calvin and Hobbes Collection

By Bill Watterson

I love Calvin and Hobbes! The strip is about a young boy named Calvin who, with his stuffed tiger, goes on many "adventures" with Calvin's huge imagination. Calvin is a troublemaking problem who misbehaves with his parents, doesn't do schoolwork, and annoys his neighbor, Susie. The misadventures of Calvin and Hobbes is always a wild ride! I highly recommend this book, and really any other Calvin and Hobbes comic strip/treasury.

A Wind in the Door, by Madeleine L’Engle is about a girl named Meg, who has a six-year-old brother named Charles Wallace. Charles Wallace thinks that he sees dragons, but it’s really a cherubim. A cherubim is a creature that looks like multiple dragons, that has lots of eyes and wings. The cherubim’s name is Progo. Charles Wallace is sick and Progo is there to help Meg make him better. Progo tells Meg that in order for her brother to get better, she has to go through three tests. The first test is that Meg has to figure out which Mr. Jenkins, who is the school principal, is the real one out of three. Then, Meg, Mr. Jenkins, and Progo go inside Charles Wallace to figure out why he is sick. Inside Charles, there are these creatures called farandolae, and Meg meets one of them that hasn't become a part of him yet, named Sporos. The second and third test is for Meg to convince Sporos to become a part of Charles Wallace. At the same time, an evil creature called an Echthroi is trying to get Sporos not to, so that Charles Wallace will die, and the universe will be destroyed. I love this book and definitely recommend it. I personally think that the first book in this series was better, but this one was great too. If you want to read this book you should read the first one before you do. Thanks!
