BLURB
Discover the horrible fate of Jonathan York as he sets out on his journey through a spooky forest with an alarming party of travel mates!
Jonathan York has led a boring life & a pointless degree from the community college, a lacklustre job at the General Store, and never any desire for something more exciting. But when fate leaves him stranded in a sinister land, he finds himself seeking an adventure of his own. Along the way he encounters ghoulish thieves, ravenous swamp monsters, a dastardly ice cream conspiracy, and a necromancer bent on human sacrifice.
In this beautifully illustrated, four-color novel, Jonathan York’s life takes a decidedly spooky turn!
OPENING SENTENCE
Jonathan York was lost.
REVIEW
I read this for the ‘a graphic novel’ category of my Popsugar Reading Challenge 2015. I choose the book because it looked like it would be fun to read.
I absolutely adored The Dreadful Fate of Jonathan York: A Yarn for the Strange at Heart. The book was well-written and engaging and worked well as a graphic novel. The enjoyment would be lost without the incredible illustrations and lovely colours. The Dreadful Fate of Jonathan York: A Yarn for the Strange at Heart is children’s fiction but can be enjoyed by big and little kids of any age. I got sheer pleasure from the spooky tale and the gorgeous colours and illustrations. The Dreadful Fate of Jonathan York: A Yarn for the Strange at Heart is a vibrant, fun visual feast. I loved the way the tale progress, when meek Jonathan is turned away from the inn because he doesn’t have a story to tell and ends up having a crazy adventure. The Dreadful Fate of Jonathan York: A Yarn for the Strange at Heart is delightful.
