Kip, Dad and the Odds have been taken to Kip’s Imaginatorium – a mysterious building in the middle of the desert. This is her imagination in real life. Going in is easy. Getting out might be impossible.
KIP AND THE ODDS DISCOVER THE POWER OF THE IMAGINATION!
A place filled with magnificent new characters, unbelievable rooms, secret doors, terrifying fears and the incredibly strange Dots, could this finally be the way for the Odds to get back to their own worlds? And will the greatest adventure of Kip’s life be inside her own mind?
Matt Stanton is a million-copy bestselling author. He holds a special place in the children’s lit scene with his highly successful Funny Kid and Bored series, picture books, and kids YouTube channel.
I’ve been eagerly anticipating The Power of Being Odd, albeit not wanting it to end, but it was the perfect way to farewell Kip and her colourful cast of imaginative friends. From dream gardens and memory banks to a fear factory, Kip, her dad and the Odds go on a quest to find the key that will take them back to the real world. On their journey, we see each character discover new ways to flourish into the best version of themselves.
Stanton excels at addressing topics that cause anxiety for children and injecting them with humour and pathos. In The Power of Being Odd, Stanton tackles deeper themes of grief, tackling your fears and having the power to move through your emotions. He navigates these themes with sensitivity through Kip’s final imaginative adventure.
Graphic novels are generally faster reads so this series is perfect for kids who want a quick, fun, easy-to-read book full of the craziest characters you can imagine – quite literally for Kip. And just like the other two graphic novels in this series, Stanton’s illustrations shine with his simple yet engaging style.
The Power of Being Odd is the hilarious and heart-filled conclusion to The Odds. It’s a story about imagination, creativity and finding our unique power within. The graphic novel ends in a way existing fans will be satisfied with – I sure was. If your child hasn’t read this series yet, this is a must-add to their list. Perfect for young readers aged 7+.
