I wasn't much impressed with the original book, but I love graphic novels so I thought I'd see if adding more pictures might help the story.

Nope.

I still don't like the bully being at the center of the story or the ambiguity of the ending.

Meh. ( )

Note: I accessed a digital review copy of this book through Edelweiss. ( )

This is cute, but it ends so lackluster. There's a climatic point where the students begin to seriously suspect Ms Jeepers as a vampire, but it never reaches a full conclusion. I've never read the original, so I can’t compare it.

Instead of a "the end" I was expecting a "to be continued." Still, this will be great for new readers to graphic novels. The panels are big and easy to follow. ( )

The Bailey school kids is a classic beginning chapter book series for kids it has been around for decades. Just recently they started to turn the classic books into a graphic novel series coming out a scholastic called graphics. The graphics are fine and lovely kids will see them and enjoy them. However the graphic novels turn the kids into little snot that are really quite annoying where in the chapter books they are precocious and curious and not necessarily obnoxious but in the book they’re obnoxious so for me this is it A total fail it’s not bad but not something I would gravitate to or probably recommend. If you want a good beginning chapter graphic novel choose Cleo in Fritz automatic treehouse ( )
