Bøger af Brian Lynch

Sixth Grader Ty Bogart has a role in the school musical! It's opening up a whole new world to him: He's making new friends, talking to way older women (some of them as old as EIGHTH GRADE), and going to big kid parties (which go until 9 PM, if you can believe it). Ty is going to act. He's going to dance. He's going to sing. He's going to kiss a girl right on the forehead in Act 2. There's just one problem: Whenever Ty has to perform in front of people, he loses his voice. Can he find it before opening night? SIXTH GRADE SUPERSTAR is a hilarious coming of age story written and illustrated by Brian Lynch, the guy who wrote the MINIONS movie and co-wrote THE SECRET LIFE OF PETS. He was in middle school, where he kissed many, many foreheads, so he definitely knows what he's talking about. SIXTH GRADE SUPERSTAR takes place in the dramatic mid-ground between Judy Blume and John Hughes. This uplifting story is a moving read for kids of all ages - and parents who used to be sixth graders. This visually dynamic illustrated novel features magnetic, positive characters who come to life in over 200 eye-popping images by the author. Lynch's other writing includes the movies PUSS IN BOOTS, HOP, and BIG HELIUM DOG. His print work includes Scholastic's popular TOY ACADEMY series and the BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER comic book spinoffs ANGEL: AFTER THE FALL and SPIKE: ASYLUM. PRAISE FOR SIXTH GRADE SUPERSTAR: "There's enough of my former 11 year old self in Ty Bogart's adventures and friends to delight, engage, amuse and horrify me-all at frigging once! Brian Lynch-a savagely funny artist-pulls off no easy trick with Sixth Grade Superstar."- Berkeley Breathed, creator of Bloom County, Outland, and Flawed Dogs: The Novel: The Shocking Raid on Westminster "The thing that makes Brian Lynch such a great writer for kids is that he's basically a big kid himself. He knows what makes kids laugh (and think) because he has the maturity of a 12 year old, in all the best ways. SIXTH GRADE SUPERSTAR will resonate with ungainly tweens and the ungainly adults who love them."- Michael Ian Black, author of A Better Man: A (Mostly Serious) Letter to My Son and actor, The State "I want to give the sixth grade Brian a big hug and the adult Brian a big high five! I laughed, I cried, I tried to style my hair with a curling iron. Sixth Grade Superstar is a fantastic read for all ages!"- Scott Mosier, director of Dr. Seuss' The Grinch "Hilarious. The book is filled with laughter, heart, and some fine cartooning. A coming of age comedy made for every late bloomer goofball."- Jordan Blum, co-creator of Minor Threats and Marvel's M.O.D.O.K. "Sixth Grade Superstar feels like a new essential story every new middle schooler could use and also manages to be something of a time warp for me, decades after that time in my life."- reader Chris Hayner
