About this ebook

Before Daniel McCloskey's professional debut as a graphic novelist, he was a kid failing third-grade English. This is the story of a would-be author/illustrator struggling as a special needs student in the gifted program, as a college student majoring in his worst subject, and with his first opportunity to sell a graphic novel to Amulet books, publisher of Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales!

This short inspirational comic was first published for free on The Comics Beat website as a six-part web series.

Like this comic? Check out Daniel's debut graphic novel Cloud Town, a middle-grade graphic novel about grit, giant robots, and friendship! Available now wherever fine books are sold.
