INTERMEDIATE FICTION

The Crow

(4) 4-6 Spellbound: Demon Slayer series. Illustrated by Jon Proctor. After his mother disappears, Max finds himself hunting and killing any demon necessary to bring her back. Max's demon-hunting skills grow throughout these first four hi-lo books, though the reason his mom was taken (her red hair color) tips the premise over the top. Intense, gruesome images with dramatic coloration accompany simple texts for reluctant and struggling readers with a font that changes to help with decoding. Review covers these Spellbound: Demon Slayer titles: The Crow, Graveyard Dirt, Hideout, and The Locket.
