Blabey’s slapstick cartoon drollery works well, and has the tone of a child-friendly version of Alien Loves Predator, the online comic which depicts monsters living in New York City without alarming the natives. In Mission Unpluckable, Blabey’s monsters attempt to establish their bona fides by liberating the inmates of a modern, mechanised chicken farm, rattling the cages of a inhumanly consumerist society. In the second edition, Mr Tarantula comes to their aid, to the horror of Mr Shark, who melts down every few pages, unable to bear the sight of a creature with too many eyes and far too many legs. Mr Wolf is leader of the pack, which consist of Mr Snake, Mr Shark and a Mr Piranha, who is often mistaken for a sardine. The series follows the exploits of four creatures who are determined to beat the bad rep that fate has handed them by doing good deeds “whether you like it or not”. Scholastic brings on the second episode of Aaron Blabey’s The Bad Guys.

The ending did not live up to the promise of Part One. This review will contain spoilers for the end of the book. The first part of The Invisible Circus is exceptional and is one of my favorite things by Jennifer Egan. Phoebe is fixated on the memories of her late sister, Faith. She lives at home with her mother, and their house is fairly quiet, with Faith’s old room left largely untouched and their late father’s paintings gathering dust. Phoebe is obsessed with these losses, and her impressions of her sister and father are heavily idealized. This leads, perhaps inevitably, to awkwardness with her mother and older brother when they’re more willing to move forward and take a more honest view of the past. She writes about more than someone not being present and the things they might have said or done if alive she makes their absence into a tangible presence that’s simultaneously tragic and disquieting.
