It's a bit hard to rate comic volumes given that they are just a small snippet of a larger story. But I will say for each of these volumes - I adore this story, all the way through. I love this group of friends, and I love the teachers as well. I adore the ways in which the adults in this story seem to actually care about and advise the children, rather than being absent or unavailable as they are in most stories like this. I love the way that mystery of the overall story is slowly unfolding and each time I finish a volume I cannot wait for more.
