In the tradition of Calvin and Hobbes, MAL AND CHAD is a funny
comic-strip graphic novel that makes a perfect first chapter book!
Mal is a super kid genius and Chad is a talking dog, but no one knows
it. What's it like to be so extraordinary and yet so invisible? Not even
Megan, Mal's secret crush, has any idea that Mal is anything more than a
dork. Fortunately, Mal and Chad are best friends with a penchant for
adventure . . . even if the time-traveling does get them grounded by
Mal's mom.
Introducing the first in a series of illustrated chapter books by
talented newcomer Stephen McCranie that are laugh-inducing, clever, and
full of heart. Give this to any kid who's a reluctant reader or is just
leaving picture books and be prepared to answer the question: When can I
read the next one?
