Tales of a seventh-grade lizard boy

Hill, Jonathan, (Comic book artist).


Publishers Weekly, August 2022. Bulletin (Center for Children's Books), July 2022. Kirkus Review, July 2022. School Library Journal, October 2022. "Threatened with diminishing resources, Booger Lizk't and his family flee their lizard community deep below Earth's crust to survive above among humans. The Lizk't family of Elberon now passes as the Tomkins family of Eagle Valley. 'Tommy Tomkins' wears a human face to school but can't seem to fit in no matter how he looks. The basketball team becomes a pipe dream when bullies label him a bug eater, and only Dung Tran, an immigrant from Vietnam and fellow outsider, sees Tommy for who he is inside, which is nothing like the outer-space lizard invaders on TV's hottest series. Can their friendship survive the truth?"--Provided by publisher.

Sunny makes a splash

Holm, Jennifer L.


It's summer, and Sunny is BORED. Most of her friends are out of town. Her mom wants her to baby-sit way more than Sunny wants to baby-sit. There's nothing good on TV. The only place that's cool (in a not-boring sense) and cool (in a not-hot sense) is the community pool. Sunny loves going there ... and loves it even more when she's offered a job at the snack shack. Soon she's flinging fries and serving soft ice-cream like a pro ... with the assistance of the very sweet boy who works with her. Sunny's mom isn't sure Sunny should be quite so independent. But Sunny is definitely sure: Life is best when it's free swim.
