Between the dangers at school and this unexpected love triangle, what will Jermain do?
If you enjoy manga or Nancy Drew, Misako Rocks! graphic novel, Detective Jermain Volume 1, is a great piece to add to your collection of books to read. This mystery novel will keep readers guessing who the culprit is until the very last page; and most likely your guess will be wrong! Jermain is a seventeen year high school student who is about to graduate. Her parents were famous detectives and now she can’t stop playing detective herself. When she realizes that some of the students and teachers at school are acting very strange, she has to solve the mystery at once; even if that means putting off her school work. The story’s plot line keeps you sucked in and makes you not want to put the book down. Not only does Jermaine have to think about solving the mystery of her school mates and teachers odd zombie behaviours, she has to also think about graduating, what she plans on doing after graduation, as well as which one of her two best friends (Andy and Trevor) she likes best. Trust, love, jealousy, having your first kiss, graduation, applying to post-secondary education, and respect, are just a few of the topics covered within this book’s beautifully illustrated 140 pages. Not only would this graphic novel be a great gift for female teens that enjoy manga series, this book would also be a great item to add to any public library teen annex collection and teen book lists. The clear and uncomplicated language used throughout the novel allows for this book to be a wonderful English as a Second Language book or beginning-to-read item for any school or public library. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants a quick read or wants to get into the graphic novel scene.
