Recess Warriors

fullDescription

Craig of the Creek meets the schoolyard in this irresistibly fun middle-grade graphic novel from Marcus Emerson, author of the hit Diary of a 6th Grade Ninja series.

When imaginations run wild at recess, 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 epidemic—cooties!
It's up to Scrap, his partner Yoshi (who is most definitely not 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 Warriors is perfect for fans of The Bad Guys and Investigators.

   • content:

     "Emerson creates a rich world full of epic adventures and hilarious one-liners . . . It's highly imaginative and strikingly familiar to the real games kids play. Emerson's 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."

     May 1, 2017
     A caped crusader, a quick-witted adventurer, and a solitary cowboy face off against zombies, pirates—and scariest of all—cooties in a trio of comics set in a schoolyard. Emerson, creator of the self-published Diary of a 6th Grade Ninja series, taps into the imaginations of children who come together for fantasy adventures that feel entirely real, skillfully moving his story back and forth between the fantastical and the mundane. While Bryce/Scrap (the superhero), Caitlyn/Yoshi (the adventurer), and cowboy Clinton are at the center of the stories, Emerson cleverly keeps readers up to speed as their classmates provide backstory through faux news broadcasts, Twilight Zone–esque monologues, and more, as well as serving as villains. Dramatically angular cartooning, a vivid palette, and dynamic shifts in perspective keep the focus on the over-the-top action; the school and playground make rare appearances, occasionally reminding readers of the “real world” that underpins the kids’ adventures. While it’s hard to compete with recess, this book serves up enough excitement to be a close second. Ages 7–10. Agent: Daniel Lazar, Writers House.
