Welcome to the Cartoonists Club!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Makayla imagines so many characters, but she wonders how to make a story with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Howard draws such funny characters, but he can’t figure out what should they do next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Art loves to make all kinds of things, and they want to try every creative medium – all of them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lynda’s sketches are realistic, but she worries about making mistakes and how personal her story is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With help from Ms. Fatima, their middle school librarian who also loves comics and graphic novels, the tweens learn how sequential storytelling works, how to make a zine from a single sheet of paper, the role of the reader’s imagination, and so much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A local comics convention?!
Can the Cartoonists Club go?
Can they have a table and sell their zines to everyone?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just published this week, by the authors of Smile<\/em> (Raina) and How to Understand Comics<\/em> (Scott). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
