The Cartoonists Club

Makayla has more ideas than she knows what to do with, but turning them into a real story feels impossible. Howard is a gifted artist who rarely knows what to draw next, and his dad sees comics as pointless. Lynda fills sketchbook after sketchbook but cannot stop fixating on her mistakes, while Art simply enjoys being creative and is ready to try anything. The four come together to start the Cartoonists Club, a place where kids can learn how comics are made, from shaping an idea into a story to drawing it on the page. As they share their work, each one gains confidence and finds a voice of their own. This cheerful graphic novel doubles as a friendly guide to making comics, and it suits readers about 8 to 12.
