Read At Your Own Risk



By Remi Lai

Published by Allen and Unwin

ISBN  9781761180934


This is a good fun illustrated novel from the master graphic novel storyteller, Remy Lai.


Read At Your Own Risk is in a different format to her graphic novels. On the inside, it looks more like a school exercise book, almost looking hand written with cute childlike drawings.


The story is funny, with spooky bits, but not too scary, rather an enjoyable adventure.


Hannah and her friends decide to play the game Spirit of the Coin.But then they began playing the last thing that they expected was to unleash anything evil. Hannah soon finds that she is experiencing some rather unfortunate accidents. When these happen she wonders if there is anyway she can escape the curse?


 they don't really expect to unleash something evil. But now Hannah is experiencing unfortunate 'accidents' and her journal is talking to her. Is there any way to escape the curse? I have seen Read At Your Own Risk as darkly funny but it is light hearted fun reading. The illustrations are simple, child-like drawings, but perfectly suited to telling the story with some hair raising expressions to enhance the written words.


Readers will find out the meanings of some words which are taken from Greek with good explanations that may also help improve vocabulary.


A good fun, funny story that would make a good gift.
