Middle School Monday: Things in the Basement by Ben Hatke 

When Milo’s mother sends him to search in the basement for his baby sister Lucy’s missing sock, he has no idea that it will be the beginning of a dark and dangerous adventure. In the basement, Milo finds a door that leads him into an entire world that’s hidden deep beneath their house, and that world is filled with plenty of amazing creatures.

This exciting and surreal adventure is what you might get if you put Kibuishi’s Amulet series, HP Lovecraft, and Dungeons & Dragons into a blender. Kids will definitely enjoy the bizarre assortment of creatures that Milo encounters on his journey underground, and they'll be rooting for him to rescue that missing sock and find his way back home.

Give this graphic novel to older kids and younger teens who enjoy weird and fantastic adventure stories, as well as heroic journeys!

5 out of 5 stars

I didn't realize until after I'd finished this book that the author / illustrator was Ben Hatke who wrote Zita the Spacegirl , which is a series I enjoyed. I was pleased to come across another work of his.

Milo is asked by his mother to travel to the basement to find his little sister's handmade sock, but just how far down does the basement go? At first, Milo is afraid to go because of all of the dark and the noises, but he gathers up his courage and travels down for his sister's sock. And down.. and down.. and down... Will he be triumphant and retrieve the sock that his tía made?

There's lots of fun onomatopoeias in the panels that are great for a readaloud. The different layers of the basement may have little dialogue until the last half (or even last third) of the book, but the panels have lots of detail to explore as the reader travels with Milo. Then, the adventure picks up with added party members as well as enemies. I had a fun time reading it.

Things in the Basement is beyond adorable. A Gaiman vibe to it

Things in the Basement is beyond adorable. A Gaiman vibe to it #comics #comicbooks #graphicnovel #ncbd

It was supposed to just be a normal basement–some storage boxes, dust, you know, the usual basement stuff. But when Milo is sent by his mother to fetch a sock from the basement of the historic home they’ve moved into, Milo finds a door in the back that he’s never seen before. Turns out that the basement of his house is enormous. In fact, there is a whole world down there. Story: Ben HatkeArt:…

Reynard's Tale breathes new life into a literary figure

Reynard’s Tale, by Ben Hatke, (April 2023, First Second), $22.99, ISBN: 9781250857910 Ages 10+ Foxes have been tricksters in fairy tales and myths for as long as cultural memory can hold. Ben Hatke’s latest work, Reynard’s Tale, takes readers into a wonderful medieval setting to relate a new set of trickster tales starring Reynard the Fox, Isengrim the Wolf, and a series of memorable supporting…

Just a little reminder that I have a Patreon. At its best it works as a space for my more experimental things and my works-in-progress. And, sometimes, feels like the start of a little community.

@novelmonger, I had a false start for the oldest book with The Scottish Chiefs by Jane Porter (struggled through the first 35 or so pages and then found out it was abridged and gave it up), but settled on The Water Babies by Charles Kingsley (the copy I was reading was published in 1917). It was, uh, an interesting ride. Sometimes it was a fairy story, sometimes it seemed like pictures of Christian truths, sometimes it was a natural history reader, sometimes it was about logic, sometimes it seemed to be supporting evolutionary theory and sometimes pointing out the holes in it, and then sometimes it hits you upside the head with the views of the time and place it was written.

For the newest book, Jack le téméraire: Dans les griffes du jarden maléfique by Ben Hatke was published in 2019 (the original work in English was published in 2016). I used my French dictionary frequently and backchecked most pages against the English after I'd worked through the French, but it was a fun challenge. I particularly enjoyed seeing how the text was translated and there are a few more significant changes that I'm rather curious about (the addition of a subtitle for one!).
