The Invisibles

“Nobody talk to the new kid”

At Harrison Middle School, the in-crowd runs everything. Newcomer Jimmy just wants to keep his head down and read Weird Walt comics. But when he bumps into the coolest kid in school and accidentally knocks his phone into the toilet, Jimmy gets frozen out. No one will be seen with him.

Then a group of outcasts contacts Jimmy, with a secret plan to win one for “the invisibles”. All he has to do is enter a nerdy school election, for a job no one’s even heard of. It’s a crazy scheme — but if it works, he’ll beat the snobs, score points with his crush, and meet his hero, comics legend Weird Walt. It’s simple… until the in-crowd finds out, and starts to play dirty.

When things are unfair, you have to fight back. But how far should you go? How far is
too far?

This Dance Is Doomed

Can a 6th grade nobody solve a diva’s dating problems?

Selfie, the school’s most glamorous eighth grader, has a terrible secret: she doesn’t have a date for prom. Too embarrassed to tell her “cool” friends, she turns to the most unlikely dating coach ever: nerdy 6th-grader Becca Birnbaum. “You have to find me a date,” says Selfie. “It could legit be anyone… long as he’s handsome and super cool.”

Becca’s never had a date. She spends her time reading and drawing posters for Debate-A-Palooza. She doesn’t know cool, eighth grade guys. But when Selfie has nowhere to turn, Becca reluctantly agrees to help.

Worst.
Mistake.
Ever.

“Deliciously over-the-top characters…cartoon illustrations on almost every page….this entertaining story about unlikely friendships will appeal to fans of The Dork Diaries.”

The Principal’s Underwear Is Missing

Oh no. Not HER. Anyone but HER.

WHEN YOU’RE A SIXTH-GRADE NOBODY, the last person you want to accidentally zonk with a volleyball is Selfie St. Clair—the eighth-grade glamour queen of the school. But that’s what happens to Becca Birnbaum, and it only gets worse when she tries to do Selfie a favor. She grabs the wrong shopping bag from the principal’s office—one containing a very personal item. And even that might not be so bad if only Selfie didn’t immediately…lose it.

If they don’t get it back ASAP, they’re toast. They try not to panic—until they hear the Biggest Prank Ever is about to happen. Can the school’s oddest couple stop the disaster of a lifetime?
