Tucker Grizzwell's Worst Week Ever

The Grizzwells comic strip gets the graphic novel treatment in this fun tale about one middle school–aged bear cub’s truly terrible week.

Tucker Grizzwell, a middle school grizzly cub, is having the worst week ever. He is due to attend the annual Jaws & Claws weekend with his dad, where young grizzlies learn how to be terrifying predators. Problem is, Tucker doesn’t even like to eat meat, let alone have to kill it first! Plus, didn't some kid get eaten last year during the dumpster-diving lesson?

And before he can even get to the weekend, Tucker must endure a week’s worth of middle school indignities, including pop quizzes, too much homework, bad cafeteria food, friends who are not the brightest lighthouses on the coast, an older sister who ignores him in the hallways, and one very unfortunate bus ride.

“Expect this chuckle-rich yarn to appeal to a wide array of readers ranging from Sunday-comics aficionados (there are particular nods to Garfield and Calvin and Hobbes) to those who have grown up with the Berenstain Bears to fans of Jeff Kinney’s Greg Heffley. For fans of the funny papers—and goodness knows, there are many.” —Kirkus Reviews
