Korgi

Korgi. Book One. by Christian Slade
Youth Graphic Novels – Lower Level - KOR

Korgi is a sparkling graphic novel, wordless except for the introduction, nicely all ages. Hidden in the forest live the small magical people called the Mollies, with their helpful fox-like Korgis. One day, a little girl named Ivy gets lost, and she and her Korgi must outwit the monsters who are trying to trap them in order to get back home. The pen and ink illustrations are beautiful and expressive. The cover made me wonder about it being too girly of a book for my gender-conscious boy, but not to worry – there was quite enough straight-up adventure to hold his attention, as well as the occasional touch of humor. This has been added to our personal library and we’re now giving it as kid birthday presents. There are two more books in the series now available.
