Mal And Chad: Food Fight! (Mal And Chad, #2) (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
Mal and Chad: Food Fight is a great short comic series for students. It deals with a boy named Mal and his imaginary talking dog named Chad. This story deals a lot with problems boys can have growing up. The girl he has a crush on, named Megan, has started a club he can't join because it is a girls only club. Eventually, Mal starts having nightmares and his dog Chad builds a machine that allows him to go back into the dreams with him to fight the monster. There are some conflicts that happen from here that I don't want to ruin but they are all fun stories.This story was cute and charming for being a comic book series. The characters are not only adorable but entertaining at the same time. The story offers an element of sci-fi and creativity that just isn't seen in the ninja and Dragon Ball Z era of comics. It is also entertaining and about kids. They can very easily relate to the topics that Mal goes through and that is why I found it so entertaining.This story, though a lower reading level, could spur kids into reading comic books for fun. This could also be used as a very base line text for students who are at a lower reading level to start with. Though I find this comic very low level and not high ended, or of substantial content, it is a fun read and is entertaining to kids. I decided to scan through this while processing it at work. My daughter had read this (even met the author and had her copy signed) and really enjoyed it. The scanning turned into a full out read. It is a quick, easy, and enjoyable book. A story about a young boy who's best friend is a talking dog and the adventures that they go on. This focuses on adventures in their dreams. Side Note: The author Stephen McCranie actually graduated from the high school that I now work at (in the library). We are so proud of Mr. McCranie!
