Squirrel Do Bad, 1 -- Stephan Pastis

From the author of the Pearls Before Swine comic strip and New York Times bestselling Timmy Failure series comes a laugh-out-loud, heartwarming, full-color graphic novel series about a quirky town--just right for young readers starting to read longer books!

Wendy the Wanderer has lived in Trubble Town her whole life but never had the chance to go exploring. For this reason, she thinks she was definitely misnamed. Her dad likes to know where she is to make sure she's safe, so she's never been anywhere on her own. Then, her dad leaves on a trip and the babysitter doesn't reinforce all the usual rules. Or any of the usual rules! Suddenly, Wendy is free to do what she wants, and what she wants is to live up to her name...and find Trubble.

Turns out, there's lots going on in Trubble Town. As she encounters endearingly goofy animals and hilariously hapless townsfolk, Wendy's very first adventure takes more twists and turns than she could have ever expected. She learns some really valuable life lessons and even teaches a few of her own.
