Watch out, middle school! Babymouse graduates from graphic novels in the first of the Babymouse Tales from the Locker series--now in paperback!
 
For Babymouse, middle school is like a monster movie. You can never be sure who’s a friend and who’s an enemy, and the halls are filled with mean-girl zombies. Instead of brains, the zombies hunger for stuff—the perfect wedge sandals or the right shade of sparkly lip gloss—and they expect everyone to be just like them.
 
But Babymouse doesn’t want to fit in—she wants to stand out! So she joins the film club to write and direct a sweeping cinematic epic. Will making the film of her dreams turn into a nightmare?
 
Highly illustrated with black-and-white art throughout and a dozen or so comic pages, this is the perfect showcase for bestselling authors Jennifer L. Holm and Matthew Holm's signature humor. Middle school may never be the same!
           
"A smooth transition into a fresh format that should both resonate with existing fans and entice new ones." --Kirkus Reviews

"For fans of “Dork Diaries” and “Diary of a Wimpy Kid.” --School Library Journal

Praise for Babymouse:
“Nobody puts Babymouse in the corner.” —The Horn Book Magazine, Starred Review of Babymouse: Queen of the World
