Noura Khalid (theperksofbeingnoura)'s Reviews > Zatanna & the House of Secrets

Thank you DC Comics and Random House for the gifted review copy!

I loved every minute of this graphic novel! It’s intended for a younger audience but I think anyone can appreciate the story and art for this one. We get to follow the magical life of a younger Zatanna and her friendly familiar Pocus. I can definitely see a younger audience loving this but I think adults will appreciate this one as well. I personally really enjoyed this. The plot was a lot less serious than other DC Comics but it was a really fun read and it was definitely something I needed after reading a couple of serious books one after the other.

The story was super fun and light (I’m a sucker for anything with magic and talking animals). The art design was absolutely perfect in every way possible. The capturing of the House of Secrets was magical and the whole graphic novel was paired with such vibrant colors and beautiful art. The story was so imaginative! Yoshi Yoshitani did an amazing job when it came to bringing to life the story that Matthew Cody created. Together they made a wonderful addition to the DC Comics universe.

The story also sheds some light on important topics for middle graders like the importance of friendship and family and the support that comes with both.

In conclusion, I would recommend this 100%. I loved every minute of it and I’m looking forward to reading what DC Comics comes up with next!
