My New Favorite Graphic Novelist: Lawrence Lindell

 


It's April 2025, and I have just finished reading my first books of the year. I have been stuck on my interests in sustainable materials, and have failed to embrace the randomness that pops up on my desk throughout the week. 

"Time to Buckle Up" by Lawrence Lindell was a delightful short read for me. I knew I would love it from the beginning after the explosion of comedic style and graphics. The reader is thrust into the feelings life experiences of Lonnie, whose parents are divorcing. He gets into a little trouble at school, and time with dad proves to be valuable. 
Perfect for youth who may be going through family issues such as conflict, divorce, death, etc.

Overall, this is a must-read for me, and many other reluctant reader types who just want to zip through the book and talk about it. I hope this review and others like it inspire you to explore the world of graphic novels and libraries. 

Thanks for reading!
