Find this review on: FLIPPING THROUGH THE PAGES

I actually enjoyed this graphic novel. This is a story about 4 kids (11-12 years old) who try to rob a bank. This is a dark and humorous tale. Paige is the leader of this gang and she has been shown as a fierce character. Because of an upcoming trouble her father can lead into, she makes that idea of robbing that bank. I liked her portrayal of a strong girl. Also, I loved her relationship with her father.

My favorite character was, however, Berger. He was so funny and notorious and was always a troublemaker for the group. The other characters were also dynamic and I like the overall group as each child has different qualities.

This book has been publicised as a middle-grade read because of the age group of the children involved in the story. But after reading this, I would say that this is not a suitable read for the children of that age group for sure. There is the use of strong language and graphic violence.

I liked the idea of using video games at the start of each chapter to represent the current planning of the kids. That idea was really unique and refreshing. I like the artwork to some extent but it was really simple as compared to the concept of the story.

I would definitely recommend this to someone who loves reading graphic novels and in need of something dark and humorous.
