Customer Reviews

Cute, fun, great stories.

Appropriate for kids and adults. Light, easy reading, but imaginative storytelling, memorable and likable/lovable characters, and a few fast action scenes.

The First in a Line of Great Things to Come from Otis Frampton

Otis Frampton, already known for his sketch card work in products such as Topps' Lord of the Rings Masterpieces and Star Wars 30th Anniversary, shows off not only his art but also his love for storytelling in "Oddly Normal Volume 1." Oddly is a little girl who is half-human, half-witch, and fully rejected at school because of her heritage. Frustrated with her life, Oddly makes a birthday wish that results in her having to live in a magical land called Fignation with her aunt. The majority of the book focuses on Oddly's new life in Fignation and her challenges dealing with a new school, new friends, and new bullies. "Oddly Normal Volume 1" is a fun read for children and adults of all ages. Frampton displays not only his signature animated style of art, but also his fantastic storytelling skills, which craft a fantastic tale of youthful discovery, and which captivate the reader until the end. My only regret about the book is that it ends far too soon, with the reader craving more Oddly. Fortunately, Oddly Normal: Family Reunion, Volume 2 has just been released, and books 3 and 4 are planned for the future. Otis Frampton has just begun to make a name for himself with "Oddly"; at least two additional series are in the works. While fans of Frampton's work will be disappointed by his retirement from the sketch card world, "Oddly" and future books will create many new fans as more and more people are exposed to Otis' graphic novels and his immense talents. Please do yourself a favor and delve into the world of Oddly. You won't be disappointed.
