Although the book reads like campaign literature, young readers are likely to find inspiration and aspiration in young Joey as a relatable, athletic, and tenacious kid who grew into a civic leader. Recommended for public and school libraries.
Children and adults alike who loved the original comics will love this edition, and anyone who enjoyed Kochalka’s Eisner Award–winning graphic novels Johnny Boo and the Ice Cream Computer and Dragon Puncher 2: Dragon Puncher Island, will appreciate the continuity across the volumes.
A must for school and public libraries looking to encourage maker culture through cosplay. Middle to high school students interested in costume design and cosplay will appreciate this selection.
