UNIVERSAL STORY THEME.
Joy: YOU ARE A CLEOPATRA
FAN.
Guest: I AM.
Joy: CLEOPATRA IN SPACE,
TELL ME ABOUT IT.
CLEOPATRA IN SPACE, THE
FIRST BOOK I BROUGHT TO TALK
ABOUT IS ABOUT CLEOPATRA AND
IT'S HER AND HER MIDDLE GRADE
YEARS, MIDDLE GRADE GRAPHIC
NOVEL.
THEY FOLLOW CLEOPATRA AND SHE
FINDS A MAGIC THING THAT
TRANSPORTS HER INTO SPACE INTO
THE FUTURE WHERE SHE FINDS OUT
THAT SHE IS THE ONE THAT IS
SUPPOSED TO TAKE OVER THE EVIL
SPACE GUY OCTAVIAN.
SHE MEETS A WHOLE BUNCH OF
TEACHERS AND STUDENTS THAT HELP
HER ALONG HER JOURNEY INTO
BECOMING THE LEADER THAT SHE
WAS DESTINED TO BE.
IF YOU HAVE KIDS THAT LIKE
BOOKS LIKE DRAMA AND SMILE,
THOSE ARE A COUPLE OF REALLY
POPULAR GRAPHIC NOVELS.
THIS IS ONE THAT I THINK TYSON
IS WELL WITH A SIMILAR
CHARACTER.
THAT IS FOR SURE.
HERE'S ANOTHER ONE JUST CALLED
SAGA.
IS CALLED SAGA VOLUME 1. IF
YOU CAN'T TELL THIS ONE IS FOR
ADULTS BUT IF YOU SEE THIS ONE
TELLS A LONG EPIC STORY.
IT FOLLOWS THIS FAMILY, THE
THREE ON THE FRONT COVER HERE.
MARCO AND ALANA AND THEIR
DAUGHTER HAZEL WHO THEY JUST
HAD AND THEY'RE KIND OF LIKE A
ROMEO AND JULIET TYPE OF LOVE
STORY FROM OPPOSING SIDES OF A
NEVER ENDING GALACTIC WAR.
THEY FALL IN LOVE AND THEY RUN
AWAY AND HAVE A BABY TOGETHER.
IT TAKES, GOES OVER THEIR
JOURNEY OF RUNNING AWAY FROM
THE GOVERNMENT AND RISKING IT
ALL FOR THEIR FAMILY AND FOR
LOVE.
PICTURES AS WELL, VERY NICE.
VERY BEAUTIFUL.
FUNERAL FABLES IS THE ARTIST
AND SHE'S AMAZING.
A COUPLE OF SPACE THEMED
GRAPHIC NOVELS.
THIS IS THE KIND OF THING
THAT FLOATS YOUR BOAT YOU WILL
LOVE IT FOR THE SUMMER FOR
SURE.MARANDA, WHAT HAVE YOU
BROUGHT FOR US?
THIS ONE, ALL SYSTEMS READ
BY MARTHA WELLS.
IT IS THE FIRST IN THE SERIES
OF NOVELLAS YOU CAN SEE IT'S
VERY SLENDER.
THE THEORY IS CALLED THE MURDER
DIARIES AND THE MAIN CHARACTER
IS A SECURITY ROBOT WHO HAS
HACKED HIS OWN GOVERNOR MODULE.
TO BECOME HIS OWN PERSON AND
INDIVIDUAL, HE'S A ROBOT NOW.
WITH THAT, COMES THE
HABILITATION ANXIETY AND SOME
GUILT AND TRAUMA OVER THE PAST
OF BEING A SECURITY ROBOT IT'S
ACTUALLY LIKE A WEAPON.
SUPER ANXIOUS, LIKE THE HIDEOUT
AND HIJACKED SHIP AND BINGE
WATCH TELEVISION.
UNTIL IT'S TIME TO SAVE THE DAY
SO EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, HE'LL
GET OUT OF HIS SHELL AND COME
TO SAVE THE DAY FOR A GROUP OF
HUMANS, MOST OF THE TIME THEY
ARE IN THIS MINING BUSINESS.
CREATIVITY.
YOU SAID IT'S A SERIES?
YES.
HOW MANY BOOKS?
I BELIEVE WE ARE UP TO FIVE
NOW.
I WROTE ABOUT FOUR OF THEM AND
STILL CATCHING UP.
BUT EACH EPISODE IS JUST LIKE A
NEW ADVENTURE, IT IS VERY
ACTION BASED.
CAN READ THEM ALL OR JUST
ONE AND STILL GET A GREAT
STORY.
FOR SURE.
WHAT WORD KILLED BY MARTIN
LAWRENCE THE FINAL BOOK, TELL
ME ABOUT THIS ONE.
THIS ONE IS SET IN THE 80S.
IT IS ABOUT A GROUP OF KIDS WHO
PLAY DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS
TOGETHER.
YOU KIND OF GET THE STRANGER
THINGS.
BUT IT'S A LITTLE LESS LIKE
SCARY AND MORE SCIENCE.
THERE IS AN ADULT SET OF PEERS
AND IT TELLS THEM THAT HE IS A
TIME TRAVELER AND HE GETS THEM
A HEIST MISSION TO GO ON
IT'S REALLY FUN AND THE
CHARACTERS ARE SUPER LOVABLE,
GREAT BAND OF STRANGERS, THEY
PLAY THAT STUFF.
THAT'S GREAT!
[MULTIPLE SPEAKERS]
NOW HAVE SOMETHING TO READ.

GREAT READS AT THE LIBRARY.

DIFFERENT FILES.
