Making Comics is for Everyone!

What comic books offer students is unique and exciting. Comic books are not only a combination of art and literature, but become a whole much greater than the sum of its parts. Cartooning offers exciting opportunities for innovative thinking — a child's imagination can build worlds on the page. Comics are amazing, and belong in the classroom! Book a visit today!

The Breakaways

The Breakaways is my middle-grade graphic novel!

Age Range: Middle-grade, 8 - 11 years

Themes: Friendship, relationships, overcoming odds, slice-of-life

Summary: Quiet, sensitive Faith starts middle school already worrying about how she will fit in. To her surprise, Amanda, a popular eighth grader, convinces her to join the school soccer team, the Bloodhounds. Having never played soccer in her life, Faith ends up on the C team, a ragtag group that’s way better at drama than at teamwork. Although they are awful at soccer, Faith and her teammates soon form a bond both on and off the soccer field that challenges their notions of loyalty, identity, friendship, and unity.

The Breakaways is a portrait of friendship in its many forms, and a raw and beautifully honest look into the lives of a diverse and defiantly independent group of kids learning to make room for themselves in the world.
