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.

Reviews for Middle School Misadventures

This hilarious graphic novel is a great read for anyone in middle school or for adults who know someone that age. --School Library Connection Newell's story is filled with a building anxiety that will fill middle-schoolers with urgent suspense and the sweet relief of recognition. --Booklist Bill Watterson-flavored artwork in full color makes this adventure entertaining and approachable even to novice graphic novel readers, yet Platt's humor is refreshingly distinct in both text and image. --BCCB
