Reviews for Jaden Toussaint, the Greatest Episode 1

I liked the book because it was about ways to get more screen time.

I'm really glad authors are bringing back the graphic novel to the younger readers with clever and simple illustration to their amazing stories.

My favorite part of the book. How the little ones who don't know how to write yet, sign their name. It was really adorable.

I have to confess I disliked the first chapter.
What I felt about the first chapter: a lovely family who ignores their beloveds, because books are evil and make people antisocial. I thought social media did that. But that's how Jaden perceives his world. If so, he understands that his father decided to give him his phone so Jaden would shut up and let his father read the book in peace... So nagging parents works. He tries again, but fails.

I guess Jaden really can be taught to love books and we have to accept who he is, and that's OK.

Jaden discovers how fun playing with a phone is... We follow his quest to have more screen time. His plan is clever. The book shows his point of view of his family which and teacher. It's a very short book also.
