Middle School Monday: Squire & Knight by Scott Chantler 
Sir Kelton of Eldergard is a knight who has won many battles and gets all the glory. His young squire is more interested in reading than in fighting, but when Sir Kelton runs off to fight a dragon by himself, his squire is left behind in a town that’s under a curse. At least, that’s what everyone says about Bridgetown … but is it really true?
This book is filled with hilarious characters like Sir Kelton (funny and vain), the squire (funny and smart), and the dragon (funny and sarcastic and AWESOME)! Readers will root for the squire to outshine the knight he serves, or at the very least to solve the town’s mysterious problem. This book is a great choice for any readers who love characters who live by their wits and their brains, and readers who love funny adventures.
Give this graphic novel to older kids and younger teens who love fantasy stories that have plenty of humor and excitement!

Squire and Knight by Scott Chantler 4 out of 5 stars
Sir Kelton is a brave and adventurous knight who has slain trolls and giants and all sorts of other vile creatures. He absolutely, definitely slew them. Even though no one has seen him do it... Not even his Squire... erm, ahem, anyway.
Sir Kelton and the young Squire arrive at a town whose bridge has been torn down. They aren't getting any travelers to help boost the economy and aren't able to get out and tend to their crops because there's a dragon! Brave Sir Kelton states that he will bravely go slay the dragon like he's done with countless other creatures and his Squire will stay in the village. And so, the Squire stays in the village and collects information about the dragon and realizes that the townspeople's stories don't quite add up. Does this mean that the dragon didn't do all this terrorizing? If so, what did? And what's happened to Sir Kelton?
This was an absolute joy to read. I loved the character of Squire and even of the dragon, who did speak in the book. It was a sarcastic jerk, which was great. Squire, who was merely called Squire throughout, was a very smart young man who didn't take things at face value.
The art was mostly in hues of greys and oranges, but it worked so well, especially when there was darkness and only a few light sources like a lantern. I've never read anything by this author / artist, but I'll have to pick up something else by him because this was a delight.

Squire & Knight by Scott Chantler. First Second, 2023. 9781250249333. 176pp. Includes a few pages of Fun Extra Stuff at the end including the origin of the idea, characters, sketches, and a quick look at Chantler's process of moving from script to finished pages. http://www.powells.com/book/-9781250249333?partnerid=34778&p_bt
The boastful Sir Kelton and his book-loving squire arrive in Bridgetown, but there aren't any people in the street, and the town's namesake bridge is gone, too. Turns out everyone is inside because they're afraid of the dragon. The townsfolk blame a curse for bringing the dragon and for everything that's gone wrong in the town, including the bridge. Sir Kelton loudly proclaims he'll take care of the dragon and rebuild the bridge (and take care of other problems) and then gallops off after it. Days later he still hasn't reappeared. But his squire is trying to investigate using the books in the hall of records and by talking to the townsfolk. The wizard who founded the town, Elden Augerhand, keeps coming up, as does his tower (where the dragon now resides).
It all turns into a wonderful fantasy/mystery with a satisfying ending. And though I loved Chantler's Three Thieves graphic novels series, this is by far my favorite book of his. (I'm a huge fan of Chantler's art, and this is some of his best, plus the limited color palette is used to great effect.) I highly recommend it to fantasy readers of all ages.

Bix7 Race Weekend! Spotlight on Bix Beiderbecke
Bix: The Davenport Album by Rich J. Johnson
When you start listening to a Bix record, in particular to one of his solos, you never know what is going to happen next. The same effect occurs when reading The Davenport Album. You read a section, and you have no idea of what is going to follow. The process of discovery is magnificent. After reading Rich Johnson's book, one has the impression of having met Bix, the individual, knowing about his family; about his early years growing up... The Davenport Album is the embodiment of the famous phrase repeated across the "Bix Lives."
Finding Bix by Brendan Wolfe
Bix Beiderbecke was one of the first great legends of jazz. Among the most innovative cornet soloists of the 1920s and the first important white player, he invented the jazz ballad and pointed the way to “cool” jazz. But his recording career lasted just six years; he drank himself to death in 1931—at the age of twenty-eight. It was this meteoric rise and fall, combined with the searing originality of his playing and the mystery of his character—who was Bix? not even his friends or family seemed to know—that inspired subsequent generations to imitate him, worship him, and write about him. It also provoked Brendan Wolfe’s Finding Bix, a personal and often surprising attempt to connect music, history, and legend.
A native of Beiderbecke’s hometown of Davenport, Iowa, Wolfe grew up seeing Bix’s iconic portrait on everything from posters to parking garages. He never heard his music, though, until cast to play a bit part in an Italian biopic filmed in Davenport. Then, after writing a newspaper review of a book about Beiderbecke, Wolfe unexpectedly received a letter from the late musician's nephew scolding him for getting a number of facts wrong. This is where Finding Bix begins: in Wolfe's good-faith attempt to get the facts right.
What follows, though, is anything but straightforward, as Wolfe discovers Bix Beiderbecke to be at the heart of furious and ever-timely disputes over addiction, race and the origins of jazz, sex, and the influence of commerce on art. He also uncovers proof that the only newspaper interview Bix gave in his lifetime was a fraud, almost entirely plagiarized from several different sources. In fact, Wolfe comes to realize that the closer he seems to get to Bix, the more the legend retreats. 
Bix by Scott Chantler
Told in stunning illustrations, Bix is a near-wordless graphic exploration highlighting the career of Leon Bix Beiderbecke, one of the most innovative jazz soloists of the 1920s next to the legendary Louis Armstrong. While composing and recording some of the landmark music in the early history of genre, Bix struggled with personal demons, facing the disapproval of his conservative parents and an increasing dependence on alcohol. Presented in predominantly silent panels to reflect his rebellious outsider quality and inability to communicate in anything other than his own musical terms, Bix tells the story of a music star’s rapid rise and tragic fall—a metaphor for the glories and risks inherent in the creative life.
Bix: Man & Legend by Richard M. Sudhalter
Bix Beiderbecke, famous before he was twenty and dead in a New York City hotel room at twenty-eight, was the prototype of the self-destructive "young man with a horn" - and one of the greatest jazz musicians of all time. Here is the fascinating accurate account of Bix's rapid rise to fame in the Roaring Twenties, and just as rapid descent. It is a virtual diary of his life, exhaustively researched for over 17 years and based on interviews with over 650 people who knew him. It includes a discography that makes all previous Bix's studies obsolete, and more than 100 photographs from jazz history, most of them published here for the first time.

(June 10th - June 16th)
Thanks to my work's very competitive summer reading challenge, I've managed to get a lot read over the past week. I feel like I've gotten over the poor string of books I was reading last month and finally had some decent ones in succession. Figuring out how to balance two jobs has been a hassle, but one I was expecting. I think I've finally gotten it all managed, at least for this and next month, but we'll see how it turns out. It looks like I'll be running the monthly Anime Club, so it looks like my high school nerd status has come full circle.
