    HIDE YOUR CANDY

    Do you want to make a comic? This book: Adventures in Cartooning will show you how with interesting, exciting, and weird parts. Also this book was made by three awesome authors: James Sturm, Andrew Arnold, and Alexis Fredrick-Frost.

    This story is about a princess, knight, and magic elf. In the story the knight finds that the princess is missing. Then he thinks a dragon took her. So he sets out to find her and slay the dragon, but along the way he runs into the magic elf who teaches the knight how to make a comic. After that his horse Edward finds a map to the dragons cave. Between the time it takes them to get there and now some cool and weird things happen. I wont tell you what you’ll have to find out four yourself. By reading it!

    My favorite part is when the knight is mean to the elf by yelling “How is a dragon going to fit into such a small panel!’’ then the elf says ‘‘I’m not talking to you say sorry.” Then the knight says “sorry” and the elf pops up like nothing even happened.

    This book is a good book to read. If this book doesn’t make you laugh and teach you to become a cartoonist at the same time, I don’t know what will!

  25. I liked this book because it taught us how to do comics. I did not know the knight was a princess was. It was funny how she used tears to change the knights from vegtables to humans. My favorite character was an onion.
