From Booklist Oddly Normal, a half witch with green hair, pointed ears, and an aversion to rain, is miserable. She is an outcast at school, and her parents are clueless about how abnormal the Normal family is. When an accidental wish on her tenth birthday goes awry, causing her parents to disappear, Oddly goes to live with her great-aunt in Fignation. In this fanciful world of witchcraft and imagination, Oddly is still not quite normal, but she makes some friends as well as some enemies and, in the process, learns to believe in herself. Frampton's art is refreshingly quirky, with strong lines and bold use of color. The world he creates is full of fun and whimsy, and kids will easily relate to Oddly's struggle to become comfortable in her own skin. This will quickly become a favorite among comics fans.

Inoue Otis Frampton, already known for his sketch card work in products such as Topps' Lord of the Rings Masterpieces and Star Wars 30th Anniversary, shows off not only his art but also his love for storytelling in "Oddly Normal Volume 1."Oddly is a little girl who is half-human, half-witch, and fully rejected at school because of her heritage. Frustrated with her life, Oddly makes a birthday wish that results in her having to live in a magical land called Fignation with her aunt. The majority of the book focuses on Oddly's new life in Fignation and her challenges dealing with a new school, new friends, and new bullies."Oddly Normal Volume 1" is a fun read for children and adults of all ages. Frampton displays not only his signature animated style of art, but also his fantastic storytelling skills, which craft a fantastic tale of youthful discovery, and which captivate the reader until the end.My only regret about the book is that it ends far too soon, with the reader craving more Oddly. Fortunately, Oddly Normal: Family Reunion, Volume 2 has just been released, and books 3 and 4 are planned for the future.Otis Frampton has just begun to make a name for himself with "Oddly"; at least two additional series are in the works. While fans of Frampton's work will be disappointed by his retirement from the sketch card world, "Oddly" and future books will create many new fans as more and more people are exposed to Otis' graphic novels and his immense talents.Please do yourself a favor and delve into the world of Oddly. You won't be disappointed.

It Figures By Pop Bop This book starts a bit slowly, with our heroine, Oddly Normal, doing a good bit of whinging about how mean the other kids at school are to her. She has green hair and pointy ears, so of course the gods of middle grade literature demand that she face ceaseless cruel teasing and torment.But wait. A really good graphic novel is lurking just right around the corner.When Oddly gets home from school and is frustrated and disappointed by the complete failure of her 10th birthday party and by her profoundly gormless parents, she wishes they would disappear, and they do, (along with Oddly's house and every scrap of normalcy surrounding her). In their place, Oddly's whacked out, wizardly, Auntie arrives from Fignation. Fignation is the alternate universe in which figments of imagination live. Auntie sends Oddly there to recuperate while she figures out how to find and return Oddly's parents. (Oddly's Mom is a witch from Fignation. Her Dad is a normal Earth guy. Oddly is a half-witch who knows about Fignation but was never allowed by her parents to go there.)Here's the really good part. This book leaves the tracks and starts getting seriously interesting when Auntie shows up. She is a complete train wreck, spouting hilarious little variations on every parallel universe/quantum baloney/magic cliche you've ever read. The book really takes off when Oddly arrives in Fignation and realizes that Fignation is a complicated place so loaded with bizarre stuff that it can't all be crammed onto the page. Plus, the twist irony is that Oddly has to go to middle school in Fignation, and it is as loaded with creeps, losers, mean girls, nerds, and so on as was the case on Earth. Except a lot of these kids have more than one head, lots more than two arms, and crazy wicked skills. The author goes giddily over the top with both the drawing and the dialogue. There are jokes about every style of teacher; there are jokes about every aspect of middle school; there are jokes that are clearly aimed at other middle school magic/romance/drama books. Every time the story or Oddly's situation gets weirder we get to share her recurring catch phrase - "It figures".The upshot is that when Oddly Normal is transported from Earth to Fignation this book is transformed from a good-natured predictable mild middle school drama into a rollicking head trip. (Just to drive that point home, the first part of the book is sepia tinted with a lot of muted browns, greens and even grays. Competent, but snooze worthy. When Oddly lands in Fignation the book goes to garish neon and then settles down to crisp bold bright coloring.) This is a funny, sly and knowing book. There is broad humor and some remarkably sophisticated humor. There are jokes inside jokes. It's never really edgy, but there are touches of vinegar and some pithy little jabs. It is one of the few graphic novels for younger readers that rewards multiple readings, since there is a lot funny stuff tucked away around the edges of each panel.This book was originally published in single issue form as Oddly Normal #1 through #5. All five of those were collected in a paperback edition in 2006. The collection received a number of high profile awards. That "Volume 1" has been reissued by Image Comics in 2015. I can't speak to the 2006 version, but the 2015 book is gorgeous. For what it's worth, Volume 1 ends abruptly; it is after all a collection of just the first five issues of a series. There is a Volume 2 that was published in 2007. It looks like this 2015 Image Comics volume marks a reboot of the whole Oddly Normal story, and I hope we continue with a reissue of Volume 2 and then new volumes as well.Please note that I received a free advance ecopy of this book in exchange for a candid review. Apart from that I have no connection at all to either the author or the publisher of this book.

A Social Outcast in Not One, but Two Worlds By Matthew Ries The trials of middle school are front and center in Otis Frampton’s “Oddly Normal, Book 1”, but unlike other young adult reads the young protagonist just can’t find any luck in either our world or the realm of Fignation. As a fan of Otis’ artwork I’ve known about his relaunch of this series for a few years, but I wish I had grabbed this book earlier than I did.Oddly Normal, the non-magical daughter of a witch and a normal human, has green hair and pointy ears thus subjecting her to middle school hell. On her 10th birthday she wishes her parents would go away and strangely enough they do. Whisked away to her mother’s home realm of Fignation by her Great Aunt, Oddly enters a new school and finds herself back in middle school hell because instead of being a half-witch in the real world, she is a half-human in the imaginary world. And then she barely escapes an attack on her life.This young adult graphic novel is not another story in which an social outcast goes to a new school and becomes someone special, it’s a story in which a social outcast goes to a new school and is still a social outcast…if not worse. The artwork and story by Frampton are both excellent and will draw any young reader in because at some time in our younger days we felt like social outcasts, but it seems that poor Oddly has it worse and that makes the reader want to see her overcome things and discover what happened to her parents.If the ‘young adult’ tag puts you off personally from reading “Oddly Normal” then direct a middle school that you know towards this book and let them follow along as a green-haired, pointy-eared 10 year old tries to navigate not one, but two middle schools in which doesn’t fit.
