520 The kids at prestigious Greycliff Academy are in for a
surprise when their hero, Kirby Finn, turns out to be
something he's not. To his friends at Greycliff Academy,
Kirby seems to have it all: charm, brains, and a lucky
streak that won't quit. He's also the notorious hero
creating the snarky videos "7 Good Reasons Not to Grow Up,
" which expose just how dumb adults can be. Why would any
kid want to become one of them?But there's also a mystery
about Kirby. And when his best friend, Raja, finds out his
secret, Kirby, Raja, and their friends have to grow up
fast and face the world head-on. Praise for 7 Good
Reasons Not to Grow Up: "The vibrant, dynamic, full-color
panel work succeeds in highlighting the youthful
irreverence of the characters and their antics.
Wonderfully balanced, this story entertains while also
introducing serious topics in an accessible way... The
highs and lows of growing up portrayed in an appealing,
amusing, and heartfelt way." -- Kirkus Reviews "This
graphic novel perfectly captures that fleeting moment
between tweendom and teendom, when the urge to cleave to a
sense of righteousness flares out into the realization
that right and wrong aren't settled concepts... Gownley
imbues it with plenty of sardonic, witty humor, and he
buoys the art, which echoes the simplicity of Raina
Telgemeier's cartooning and the retro cool of an Archie
comic, with levity and brightness." -- The Bulletin of the
Center for Children's Books Praise for The Dumbest Idea
Ever!: * "Gownley's story is wonderful; his small-town
life is so vividly evinced it's difficult to not get lost
in it." -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review "A deeply
personal and genuine work of autobiography, and an open
letter of assurance to aspiring artists everywhere." --
Publishers Weekly "An excellent example of
autobiographical sequential art at its most deeply felt."
-- Booklist "This charming and inspiring tale will be
enjoyed by fans of Raina Telgemeier's Smile (Scholastic,
2010) and aspiring comics creators everywhere." -- School
