NAMED BY THE AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION AS ONE OF THE TOP TEN GRAPHIC NOVELS FOR YOUTH 2005.
WINNER OF THE BRONZE MEDAL, FOREWORD MAGAZINE’S 2005 BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARDS.
“A compelling tale of a boy who has to accept his own value or sense of self-worth…one of those exciting indy tales of living life.”–Leory Doureseaux, COMIC BOOK BIN
“Bennett captures the uncanny feeling of high school in this graphic novel…The understated grace of Jake’s narrative will resonate with teens, who will connect with Jake and his frogy inner voice.”–BOOKLIST
Jake’s too old for an imaginary friend, but that doesn’t seem to bother the six-foot frog he talks to–Longfellow High just seems more real now that Wilbur’s around. In the big leap from childhood to adulthood, the lessons learned in school aren’t always in the classroom.
