Funny, fresh, and imaginative, this quirky tale of friendship and family will inspire readers to pick up a pencil and tell their own lives in pictures.

Bea Garcia draws everything all the time - she's an artist!

But then her first and only best friend, Yvonne, moves to Australia.

Bea has to draw what she wishes didn't happen - her best friend waving good-bye.

What could be worse?

What's worse is the boy who moves in next door.

He is not like Yvonne at all - he's a monster!

Bert burps, buzzes, and calls Bea names.

He ruins everything and he even tries to steal her book of drawings! Luckily Bea knows that her pencil has power and figures out just what to draw to put that monster in his place.

Funny, fresh, and imaginative, this quirky tale of friendship and family will inspire readers to pick up a pencil and tell their own lives in pictures.
