GRAPHIC NOVEL REVIEW: Welcome to the 'Burbs (CatNinja #4) by Matthew Cody and Chad Thomas
REVIEW
Cat Ninja leaves the big city behind for the suburbs when he goes with Leon and Marcie to visit their father. Unfortunately for CatNinja, things in the 'burbs work differently than he's used to, so he returns to the city on patrol, but finds someone else saving the day. He returns to the 'burbs to discover that something isn't right. The goldfish given to the family by a neighbor turns out to have been genetically altered into a mob box called Goldfather who is running the neighborhood through blackmail and control of the sewer system. Unfortunately, Mr. Squeaks, the criminal genius hamster's been captured. Naturally it is up to Cat Ninja and Adonis, the robot dog, to save the day. With bright, appealing illustrations this graphic novel is bound to be a hit with fans of the series as well as fans of Captain Underpants or Dog Man. The story is action-packed while also presenting lots of humor. The extra story at the end about Adonis, the robot dog's attempt at being Cat Ninja's sidekick is hilarious. A kid-friendly, winning superhero story that many young readers are bound to love.
