A mysterious creature called a Hullabaloo has attached itself to a sixth grader named Jack in this beautifully illustrated and humorous graphic novel that celebrates our differences and life's changes. Perfect for fans of Raina Telgemeier and Disney*Pixar's Inside Out.
Jack Daring has always been just a typical kid. But his life becomes anything but typical when a mischievous cat-like creature called a Hullabaloo attaches itself to him, causing chaos in his life. Now Jack must not only navigate the tumultuous middle school hallways, but also learn how to live with his newfound companion. He'll have to use the help of his classmates and their varied Hullabaloos to learn how to adapt to—and thrive within—this new normal. This original graphic novel—with a dyslexia friendly font—will have readers laughing and cringing at the hijinx of Jack and TS.
