Johnny Boo Goes to School

Johnny Boo #13

by James Kochalka

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

Reviews

[Ryan · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is book 13 in the series and it still feels as fresh as book number one. Johnny boo and squiggles are on their way to school but don’t know what school is or what the point of it is. But they do know they need an apple on their head. What is school? What is 2+2? Is the ice cream monster still a monster, or what about the big mean boy? It’s nice to see how the characters age and don’t age and how the story moves forward while being a story for the earliest of graphic novel readers. Book was a lot of fun and I can’t wait for the next one.
