Johnny Boo Goes to School (Johnny Boo Book 13)



“The best little ghost in the world” continues his award-winning silliness with a wacky new adventure in a new place: SCHOOL!

Johnny Boo doesn’t know what school is, but if Squiggle is going, he wants to go too! School is where you have to wear an apple on your head so the teacher doesn’t mistake you for ice cream and eat you accidentally, right? Well, maybe if your teacher is the Ice Cream Monster.

There’s so much to learn! After exploring the mystery of “two plus two,” Johnny Boo and Squiggle try to figure out why the Mean Little Boy got bigger... and wait, how did he grow a mustache? This book is the perfect gift for someone about to enter school, someone who recently finished school, or anyone could use a sweet and silly story about being brave in new situations.

About the author

James Kochalka

James Kochalka (kah-chall-ka) has been creating iconic indie comics and bizarrely catchy punk rock since the early 80s. Largely autobiographical, Kochalka's cartoon expression of the world around him includes such real-life characters as his wife, children, cat, friends and colleagues, but always filtered through his own observations and flights of whimsy. In March 2011 he was declared the cartoonist laureate of Vermont, serving a term of three years. He is a two-time winner of the prestigious Eisner Award, as well as four Ignatz Awards and a Harvey Award.
