In Jason Platt's debut graphic novel, Ferris Bueller meets Calvin
and Hobbes in this hilarious and embarrassing middle school caper
that asks the important questions--like how long can one kid vamp
before he embarrasses himself in front of his whole school? Newell
is always getting into trouble--whether it's showing up tardy for
most of the year, or mocking his teachers while authoritarian Mr.
Todd is standing right behind him. When disaster strikes and Newell
finds himself on track to summer school, he's given one last minute
option to get out of it: participating in the upcoming Talent Show.
The only problem is that he doesn't technically have a talent to
show. Yikes. In this fun and imaginative full-color graphic novel,
Jason Platt sends a fast-talking, daydreaming, middle school kid on
a desperate quest to pull off a great show and save his summer.
A two-colour graphic novel about speaking-up and standing out when
you feel different. Perfect for fans of Raina Telgemeier How do you
find your voice when everyone around you is telling you to be
quiet? Frankie is different, and so is her best-friend, Sam. So
when they both start secondary school, it's tough. Particularly
when there are so many rules to follow, like: No talking in class!
Be quiet in the hallways! Silence for assembly! Frankie doesn't
know how she'll manage, because constantly talking is how she
copes. So when she gets the chance to compete in a Battle of the
Bands contest, Frankie couldn't be more excited. Except, to have a
band, you need to have band members. And to have band members, you
need to be good at making friends... Can Frankie learn to find her
voice and stand out? A unique perspective on Autism, told with
humour and heart. Brought to life with glorious colour artwork in a
distinctive blue and orange palette. Perfect for fans of Raina
Telgemeier. Praise for FRANKIE'S WORLD: "I loved Frankie's story
