Recess Warriors Hero Is a Four-Letter Word [Paperback]

Saving the world... one playground at a time.

When imaginations go wild in the schoolyard, anything can happen. Normal kids become world-saving heroes, girls become power-hungry pirates, and zombies take over the school after being infected by the dreaded epidemiccooties! It's up to Scrap, his partner Yoshi (don't you dare call her a sidekick!), and Clinton, the baddest cowboy in the, um, badlands, to stop recess from collapsing into total apocalyptic chaos.

With dynamic full-color art and nonstop action,Recess Warriorsis an irresistibly fun middle-grade graphic novel from Marcus Emerson, the creator of the hit self-published series,Diary of a 6th Grade Ninja.

Emerson creates a rich world full of epic adventures and hilarious one-liners . . . Its highly imaginative and strikingly familiar to the real games kids play. Emersons story is only matched by his artwork; richly detailed and textured, his stylized figures are imbued with dynamic movement, and the variety of skin tones among the kids on the playground is refreshing. This archly funny, spot-on comic adventure will hit home for elementary-school kids far and wide. Booklist,starred review
