Book Review / Delilah Dirk and the Turkish Lieutenant by Tony Cliff

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas holiday!  I'm back after a Picture Book Advent series with a review of a graphic novel for a whole new audience - Delilah Dirk and the Turkish Lieutenant by Tony Cliff:

This is one swashbuckling graphic novel! Delilah Dirk is an adventurer and sword fighter extraordinaire who rescues Selim, a kind, tea-loving lieutenant and turns his world upside down as the two unwittingly set off together in Delilah's flying boat. From stealing gold from a greedy Sultan to staged explosions, its clear that neither of their lives will ever be the same again!

Delilah Dirk and the Turkish Lieutenant is a perfect graphic novel to share with new readers of the genre. The book's winning combination of action and beautiful artwork will leave readers wanting more after finishing the last page. In addition, Delilah is a spunky, strong female protagonist that readers will want to root for.  Keep an eye out for upcoming installments of this series on Delilah's website. Give this one to readers age 10 and up.
