**STARRED REVIEW** “Scenes are drawn with much skill . .
. and they are heartbreaking. This emotional honesty alone is
reason to buy this book.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review
— Kirkus Reviews
"Once again, Mal is trying his hardest to impress Megan, and
hilarity ensues. Invited to her birthday party by her dad, he does
his best to stand out, but only gets teased. So, when the school
talent show is announced, he uses that opportunity to try once
again. Unfortunately, they get trapped in a freak snowstorm created
by Mal’s weather machine. Interestingly creative, yet simple
to follow, the plot twists make this a great read for new and
seasoned graphic-novel fans. The situations are funny and the
adventures are fast paced. Mal may be a genius, but he is still a
kid with insecurities and problems. Chad is the best friend that
everyone wants; a dog that loves him unconditionally. Simple,
clean, black-and-white drawings have action and expression. Kids
will love this one."--School Library Journal
