Kevin brought a stinky egg to school and now everyone is calling him Eggboy. One of his old friends isn’t talking to him. His other friends are just as nerdy as he is. His grandma from the old country has moved in with their family because his dad left. His seamstress mom is stressed. There’s a school field trip. It’s a tough time to be Kevin. This is a great graphic novel, so evocatively done. Kevin feels real, proud to be nerdy but still trying to figure it all out.
