li'l rip.

There are SO many amazing middle grade novels and graphic novels coming out this year. 12-year-olds are tough customers when it comes to reading, so I am pretty ecstatic to feature the Li'l Rip Haywire Adventures: Escape from Camp Cooties which came out last month. Author, Dan Thompson writes the Rip Haywire graphic novels and I love that he took this popular character back to his childhood to gear his talents toward kids.

Rip isn't your average kid. He gets to join his dad on dangerous international missions, this one being at an all-girls summer camp, where strange things are happening. Following Rip (and his sidekick who is also his dog) as he tries to solve the mystery is hilarious. Your kid will love the story and the illustrations.
