About the Book
THE MYSTERY OF THE MEANEST TEACHER: A JOHNNY CONSTANTINE GRAPHIC NOVEL is a comedic middle grade graphic novel about two kids with developing magical powers trying to figure out if their schoolteacher is really, secretly, a witch.
After angering a number of hostile spirits in England, 13-year-old magician Johnny Constantine has to find a way out of the country. Persuading his parents to send him to America, John arrives at the Junior Success Boarding School in Salem, Massachusetts. But once there,he finds himself to be something of an outcast. And he is also convinced that his homeroom teacher really has it in for him. Worse, he's convinced that's she's really a witch.
Fortunately, John is able to find one kindred spirit at school with whom he's able to form an alliance--another misfit named Anna, who also happens to have her own developing magical powers. John recruits Anna in his efforts to uncover the truth about Ms. Kayla and expose the Meanest Teacher's real identity to the world.
Joined by a friendly demon named Etrigan, these two amateur sleuths will uncover clues and stumble upon forces beyond their control in a humorous series of misadventures.
My Take on the Book
My 13-year-old daughter loves graphic novels and comics. She did not know what to expect in this book because she knew that John Constantine could be a very dark character, but as she read it she found that it was a great re-imagining of his character from a kids' point of view. As I read the book I loved seeing Constantine, not as the dark character that I knew him as but instead in a whole new light. The book has a great mystery within its' pages and in reading this, anyone that loves comics, graphic novels, and mysteries will really enjoy this!
