In Yehudi Mercado's full-color middle grade graphic memoir sequel to
Chunky, Hudi and his imaginary friend, Chunky, head to Jewish summer
camp, where the dynamic duo meet a new friend who can see Chunky, too,
and get mixed up in a prank war. This series is perfect for fans of
Raina Telgemeier and Jerry Craft.
Hudi finally embraced his love of art and comedy, but his class clown
antics keep getting him in trouble. After Hudi's artwork lands him in
detention again, his parents decide a change is needed when summer
arrives, and they sentence him to four weeks at summer camp.
Hudi is hesitant about Camp Green--a Jewish sleepaway camp in the
blazing Texas desert. At least he still has Chunky. Then Hudi meets
Pepe, a fellow camper who's also Latinx, Jewish, and a comedian like
Hudi, and who--get this--can also see Chunky! What?! The rest of Hudi's
bunkmates are also a motley crew of misfits. Has Hudi finally found his
people?
This new friendship with Pepe leads Hudi and Chunky into all kinds of
hijinks, including a prank war with a few rival campers: the rich,
preppy trio of Joshes. Hudi soon realizes that Pepe is driven by more
than just making people laugh and he's not telling Hudi the truth. As
the pranks escalate further than Hudi wants, he's at risk of getting
labeled a troublemaker again--can Chunky help Hudi save this new
friendship? Or will it flame out?
