Nightlights Lorena Alvarez 9781910620571 Books Reviews
- I bought this as a last minute Christmas gift for my 3rd grade daughter [age 8] who reads at a 5th grade level. I did not have a chance to read it first due to the proximity of the holiday, but went off the reviews, the wonderful artwork and the bit that I could see online [which was only the first part of the book which was fine]. Halfway through my daughter was freaked out and would not finish the book, and I had to implement anti-nightmare measures - allow her to stay up later than normal watching a calming show while we talked about it. I then read it myself and could see why. It is creepy and not remotely what I would consider a children's book. Personally, I think the age range should be well over 10 [as I know it would creep out my 10 year old], but kids that age are unlikely to read this kind of book. My first awareness that something was wrong, was when she told me that the one character was naked which struck me as odd and when she showed me I could tell the book was not remotely appropriate - I was mortified that I had given my daughter this terrible book. - There's fun creepy and then there is the kind that induces nightmares in those with already active imaginations and this was definitely in the latter category. I rarely write reviews, and try very hard not to say negative things about books as a librarian, but as a parent this was not okay.
- Spooky kids story with truly beautiful art. Just be aware that it has an uncertain ending. Not that it is a tragic or bad ending, but it is left open to interpretation. Maybe a little too spooky for kids younger than 5 or 6. Parents that absolutely require a clear cut happy ending will not like this, but artistically hip parents will love it, maybe even more than their kids do (which is me). But even if the story is a little odd for you, the art is positively spectacular. The two page spreads are beyond great. I only wish there was another follow up story!
Nice big size and quality binding as well. - I have been a fan of Lorena Alvarez's work for a while and have been waiting for this book to come out. My eldest (8) loves the comic book style. she is already asking when there is going to be another book.
- This book earns it's 5 stars based on the artwork alone, but the story itself also is well deserving of it. I wouldn't necessary call this a graphic novel, but the title of a "graphic short story" fits more precisely. I'm a devout lover of EC comics and this story would fit nicely in that tradition. I also love the film work of Guillermo Del Toro and the artwork in this book is very similar to the images you see in his films.
- This book is amazing! The colors and full page artworks are incredible. It reminds me of Spirited Away/Over the Garden Wall. My only complaint is that it's too short. Sequel please.
- I love Lorena Alvarez's work and this book does not disappoint. Gorgeous color and a very sweet and relatable story for artists and creatives!
- A magical, eerie graphic novel that's genuinely the right length and reading level for younger middle graders. If your kids like Neil Gaiman and Spirited Away, they'll love Nightlights!
- Didn’t fit my expectations. I’m not fond of buying books that are linked to religions that I don’t practice without knowing. This was just a setting catholic school. But it felt like a waste of money.
