A review by aliciasrealm
The Hero Twins and the Magic of Song by David Bowles

4.0

This retelling of a Mesoamerican mythology was fun and engaging, with plenty of laughs. The guide with character names and descriptions is a great reference. The illustrations are expressive, each character is distinctive, and the style is very appealing to me. The story is easy to follow, the text is easy to read, and the panels have an intuitive layout. The story relies mostly on its text narrative (there are very few panels without text) while the illustrations are a supplement, mostly used to visually show what is described in the text. Overall, I really enjoyed this short graphic novel and think middle graders would enjoy both the story and illustrations.
