book review

“This graphic novel by David Mansch focuses on several present-day struggles of parents: the impact of video games on the brains of the young; family time missed because of the addictive nature of video games-no matter how fun; and the imagination in each of us that goes untapped with the busyness in our world. Mansch unravels these themes with such poise that the reader gets lost in the exciting story while still absorbing the importance of family values and the good-natured, pure entertainment. The novel’s pictures are incredible and capture the feelings and mood of the story every step of the way. My grandkids, Jack, age 9, and Norah, age 10, both read the book and enjoyed it so much. Hearing their giggles, told me that this book is spot on with the comics and timeless sense of humor of the young, especially the boys of this age group. Little sister, Kitty, makes the story come alive for female readers too. Adults will enjoy the clever antics of Baron Buttz and Steve as well as the hilarious alliteration and the mix of video game jargon and potty jokes. Any child interested in video games of any kind or just superhero fans will love Mansch’s S.N.O.T.S Call of Doody. Readers will be very anxious to devour the next book of the series.”

Now very rare in the universe, Freeze Dried Instant Martians, were once very popular amongst those bent on universal domination. Just add water, and poof, you have yourself a Martian minion. Baron Buttz accidentally found one hidden in a pair of vintage boots he bought from an intergalactic thrift store. One day, while fixing an overflowing toilet, water leaked into one of the many holes in the leather. There was a burst of electricity, a poof of smoke, the boot blew apart, and a tiny Martian baby sat on Buttz's foot. With the plunger in hand, the Baron looked down at the little creature on his foot. Little Steven asked “Dada?”
