I’d never read a Black Lagoon book before now. My seven-year-old couldn’t stop laughing. She asked to read this book. We’ll be reading more in this series for sure.

The 100th day isn't as big as it used to be.

Quick short read

[Rachel Dalton · Rating 3 out of 5]

The Black Lagoon books are transitional books that are easy to get through and use the cartoon-like illustrations to help tell the story. While I think they can be used to help students transition to chapter books, I am not a big fan of all the sarcasm used in the books.
