From Booklist
In this adaptation of the classic story, part of the Graphic Revolve series, Ali Baba is a poor man who stumbles upon a hidden cave where a band of thieves hides its loot, opening the cave with the phrase open sesame and closing it with close sesame. When he brings some of the treasure home, his greedy brother, Kasim, finds out and forces Ali Baba to tell him everything; but the thieves discover Kasim in their cave and kill him. When they hunt after Ali Baba, it takes the courage and cunning of the servant girl Marjana to save Ali Baba and his family. Osnaya’s stylish art and Manning’s story combine to make a dynamic comic book. The violence of Kasim’s death and Marjana’s method of dealing with the hidden thieves doesn’t occur in the panels, but readers will understand exactly what is happening. Back matter includes information about The Arabian Nights, real hidden treasures, a glossary, and discussion and writing prompts, but young readers will care mostly that this is simply a great adventure story. Grades 3-5. --Kat Kan
