In THEA STILTON GRAPHIC NOVELS #5: THE SECRET OF THE
WATERFALL IN THE WOODS, it's summertime at Mouseford Academy on Whale Island
and the students are all preparing for the annual trek into the woods to watch
the opening of the dam and to watch the return of the waterfall. However, when
Professor Van Kraken is almost attacked by a bear in the woods, it becomes
clear that something isn't normal. Some want to call the whole excursion off,
but the Thea Sisters and a few others decide to investigate to see what exactly
is going on. THE SECRET OF THE WATERFALL IN THE WOODS is another interesting
tale about the students at Mouseford Academy and the selfish ambitions of
Vissia de Vissen. I look forward to reading more of their adventures in future
volumes.

Review: STAR WARS SHATTERED EMPIRE
What happened in the days immediately following the
destruction of the 2nd Death Star in the movie RETURN OF THE JEDI?
Well, STAR WARS: SHATTERED EMPIRE is a graphic novel that fills in some of the
gaps. Instead of focusing on the main players from the original Star Wars
trilogy, SHATTERED EMPIRE follows the exploits of a couple of, until now,
unknown fighters of the Rebellion. There's Shara Bey, an amazing pilot and her
husband, Kes Dameron, a skilled fighter. The couple fight in different
divisions and are looking forward to the time they can retire and begin the
life together that they have been fighting for. However, before that can
happen, Shara is sent on one last mission to assist Luke Skywalker in an
important task.
At the end of the SHATTERED EMPIRE story, there is the first
issue of the PRINCESS LEIA comic. In addition, the issue of PRINCESS LEIA is
followed by the very first issue of the STAR WARS comic from 1977.
Overall, I enjoyed SHATTERED EMPIRE. Shara was a great
character and it was nice to see some back story about the parents of Poe
Dameron. It's a nice story that Star
Wars fans will enjoy, particular fans of THE FORCE AWAKENS.
