The odyssey – the graphic novel by Gareth Hinds - reviewed by Linus
This is based on Homer’s epic poem. It’s about a man called Odysseus and he’s held on an island by a nymph called Calypso. Odysseus wants to go back to his family and so when Hermes (the messenger of the gods) decides to let him go they build a raft. Poseidon doesn’t want him to go and builds a wave that stops him from going. He does finally get home however only to find his place is overrun by suitors. He kills them all with the help of Athena and Zeus. The suitors had been trying to steal his wife and land for themselves.

The hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien - reviewed by Marc
This is about a hobbit called Bilbo Baggins who likes a quiet, peaceful life - hobbits don’t like surprises or adventures. A wizard called Gandolf comes, who knows Bilbo. He comes to Bilbo’s place for afternoon tea and brings 14 dwarves. The dwarves are angry and want their homes back off a dragon called Small. They go on a quest and have a lot of trouble with trolls, orks and wolves, but eagles help. Bilbo finds a ring that makes him invisible. Their journey takes them to the forest of Mirkwood where they have all kinds of trouble. One of my favourite pieces is when they come across the giant spiders. The dragon Small is now awake and they have to kill him.
