The text contains some sophisticated vocabularyand literary references (there is a vampire named Bram, for instance), whileremaining accessible. Fignation is a richly imagined world of fantasticalcreatures. The drawings throughout are engaging and make good use of moody,saturated colors. A recreation of an Oddly Normal collection published in2006 that expands upon the original story and has reimagined illustrations. VERDICT This is Frampton's fully realized vision for Oddly Normal; it isworth adding to any collection, even those that already contain the earlieredition. - School Library Journal "Frampton's art is refreshingly quirky,with strong lines and bold use of color. The world he creates is full of fun andwhimsy, and kids will easily relate to Oddly's struggle to become comfortable inher own skin.
