In this full-color middle grade graphic memoir for fans of Raina
Telgemeier and Jerry Craft, Yehudi Mercado draws inspiration from
his childhood struggle with his weight while finding friendship
with his imaginary mascot, Chunky, as he navigates growing up in a
working class Mexican-Jewish family. Hudi needs to lose weight,
according to his doctors. Concerned about the serious medical issue
Hudi had when he was younger, his parents push him to try out for
sports. Hudi would rather do anything else, but then he meets
Chunky, his imaginary friend and mascot. Together, they decide to
give baseball a shot. As the only Mexican and Jewish kid in his
neighborhood, Hudi has found the cheerleader he never had. Baseball
doesn't go well (unless getting hit by the ball counts), but the
two friends have a great time drawing and making jokes. While
Hudi's parents keep trying to find the right sport for Hudi, Chunky
encourages him to pursue his true love-comedy. But when Hudi's dad
loses his job, it gets harder for Hudi to chart his own course,
even with Chunky's guidance. Can Chunky help Hudi stay true to
himself or will this friendship strike out? * A TLA Maverick
