La casa de la dentista

by Señor Wooly, Juan Carols Pinilla (illustrator)

The Legend of The Dentist is a lie. At least, that's what most kids in Carolina's town seem to believe. They think it's merely a fable designed to scare them into brushing their teeth. But Carolina can't seem to shake the idea that there's something insidious bubbling under the surface of this small, island town. Maybe the answer lies in the abandoned house across the street. Or maybe, the house just looks abandoned.

This 114-page graphic novel is a perfect read for beginner/intermediate Spanish students as they move along their journey towards fluency. It's also a great read for anyone whose palms get a little clammy as they head to the dentist.

Features a per-page Spanish-to-English glossary.

Genres: Graphic Novels, Spanish Literature

En actualidad yo leyó La Ciudad de la Dentista pero no está en este app, así que necesito poner este libro dos tiempos por el primero y segundo libro.

I’m torn. For me, this would be a 2 or a 3. The story is “meh” but has its funny, very Sr. Wooly, parts. It’s not my genre though. But my tween daughter saw it on our kitchen island and “read” it; it was that appealing to her even though she only knew 5 or 6 of the words in Spanish. She wished she knew more Spanish to be able to read the book. So from a teacher’s perspective, this leveled-reader is a 5!...When did graphic novels become such a thing? Remember when they were just comic books? Ha. Sooo, since you can’t fight city hall,...I scanned the whole book and put it in my remote FVR library for my students!

So good! The graphic novel format works really well (and is nice and big so I could actually read the words). It's the first of these graded Spanish readers that'd be worth reading even if it was in English!

It honestly was a really strange and bad book.

The book was very interesting, but I just didn't like the ending. I wish that there was some sort of closure instead of more deceit. Overall, it was a good book. It made french class interesting.
