2. REVIEWS
Julie Black Belt: The Belt of Fire
By Oliver Chin,
illustrated by Charlene Chua
"With its bright, action-packed cover in super hero style, this book will draw young readers in, especially those interested in martial arts. Julie's hero Brandy Wu stars in The Belt of Fire. Through this film and her own experiences with the new boy Brandon in her martial arts class, she learns that working together as allies rather than as adversaries brings out the best in both of them... Girls, especially, may welcome a female protagonist in a kung fu book, but primary boys will most likely enjoy this story as well."

The Treehouse Heroes
By Phil Amara,
illustrated by Alina Chau
"Comic book editor, author, and teacher Amara has written a mystical tale. Chau's work in animation is evident in her uniquely designed color illustrations. In a land where rivers have dried and villagers are cutting old trees, the magical beast Zez finds herself in the care of the Treehouse Heroes, five equally magical beings and their Teacher...Comic book and graphic novel fans will find this intricately detailed picture book of interest. Recommended."
