We also do comic book stores-one comic a week, usually anything in a kids version that has to do with Green Lantern! He got this last week at the schools Scholastic Book fair - and devoured it !! I then went to Amazon "people who bought this book also bought"...and found a few graphic books for him to check out. We wandered around Barnes and Noble - he liked the look of Sonic, bought an Archie babies book, and saw a few more he liked the look of. We're getting there - he's certainly reading more than he used to, which is the goal

My son has been writing to the author (who is amazing), and she tells us that there aren't any plans for a follow up at this point. My son's copy is falling apart. Eleanor Davis was wonderful to him, and his MANY questions.
