I really enjoyed reading The Adventures of Tintin series because Tintin isn't a superhero (if he was, his sidekick would be Snowy, his dog) but he always saves the day or solves an adventure. The Tintin series are in cartoon strips, but it is easy to imagine how the characters are saying what they say.

The author, Herge, spoke French, so the original books are in French, (a few of my Tintin books are in French, and it takes AGES to translate them). My favourite character is Professor Calculus, because he is partially deaf, and the things he thinks people say are really funny (and he always relies on his pendulum).

The storyboard of The Secret of the Unicorn is that the main character, Tintin, buys an old model ship called The Unicorn. A collector, called Ivan Ivanovitch Sakharine, tries to buy the model ship off Tintin, but he is challenged by an American man who wears a blue suit.

When Tintin gets home, he discovers a piece of scroll in the middle mast of the Unicorn. Will the help of Captain Haddock and Professor Calculus help solve a mystery waiting to happen?

Star rating: 5 stars! I would recommend this book to a friend!
