(What's this?)
My daughter is writing a letter to the author and we'll send it soon.
She wants to say "Dear Kate Brown, I loved your book and love your imagination. Please can you write another one. My father says he will buy it for me. I want to know what's going to happen next."
What an endorsement, eh?

I spotted this book while in a children's bookshop and it really stood out to me, lovely illustrations, great looking book. Finally got a hold of it and I think the plotline is very engaging and hopefully more will be produced.
I don't think the manga/japanese animation influence is particularly strong, the hairstyle could be and the title spider moon (akin to sailor moon) but beyond that it seems quite western.
The plot is original and Bekka having webbed hands reminds me of waterworld, combined with the potential apocalypse that is coming. The way it's drawn and the dialogue is presented is very concise and it feels like you're watching an animated film of the story. Please make more Kate Brown!

(What's this?)
The fine artwork that Kate Brown has put into this graphic novel is truly delightful. The book is full of unusual and detailed ideas that bring this fantasy world to life in all it's glory, with an apparent wealth of background information that underpins the whole premise of the story. The lead character, Bekka, is likely to appeal to readers young and old with her determination that she too will help in the fight against what has been prophesised; the impending doom of their world.
The story shows a lot of promise for future works as The Spider Moon is titled 'Book 1', promising of more to come. It is fast-moving and engages the reader swiftly. It also has an interesting section at the end that takes the reader through a process of how to create such artwork as is demonstrated throughout.
Dramatic, interesting, and beautifully illustrated.
