The Loud house

Lincoln Loud is aptly named. He has 10 sisters (he's the only boy), and this frenetic collection of stories about the cartoonish antics of his family is riotous. The first story is a choose-your-own-adventure-style comic, in which Lincoln is hunting for the TV remote and has to ask each sister (and a few pets) to help him find it. In a thoughtful piece of book design, flipping through the pages in a traditional manner won't spoil the ending. Other stories explore the personalities of his sisters and the travails of living in such a crowded household, such as when Lincoln wants to call a girl, but everywhere he goes, sisters are lurking with sly, knowing looks on their faces. The bright colors and animated drawing style reflect the series' source material, a Nickelodeon TV show, and heighten the comical slapstick atmosphere. While the jokes are sometimes predictable, and the characters are all a bit one-note, there's plenty of appeal to kids here, especially those who love the quick-fire jokes of TV cartoons.--Hunter, Sarah Copyright 2017 Booklist
