Summary

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。

I normally laugh out loud with Pastis’ books。 Tommy Failure， Pearls before swine， but this one was meh。

silly and fun， makes no sense

I typically enjoy stories that are complete nonsense， but this was not one of them。 It was too pointless and disjointed to be amusing， and barely interesting enough to keep me reading - I almost DNFd it twice but made myself finish to see if it was actually going anywhere。 Which it was， a moral was eventually revealed at the end， but it took WAY too long to get there， especially for a children's graphic novel - I can't imagine juveniles will understand even half of it。 I really enjoy Stephan's P I typically enjoy stories that are complete nonsense， but this was not one of them。 It was too pointless and disjointed to be amusing， and barely interesting enough to keep me reading - I almost DNFd it twice but made myself finish to see if it was actually going anywhere。 Which it was， a moral was eventually revealed at the end， but it took WAY too long to get there， especially for a children's graphic novel - I can't imagine juveniles will understand even half of it。 I really enjoy Stephan's Pearl's Before Swine so I expected to really enjoy this， but that was sadly not the case。 I'll continue reading his strip， but will be avoiding his children's books in future。 。。。more

Jenny T。 ，

An absurd （in the best sense） read/graphic novel using the butterfly effect to reveal problems in Trubble Town。 I won this book as part of a prize pack and dropped my current read for some laughs from Stephan Pastis！

Shane Harcombe ，

There are only two words to describe this graphic novel - zany and funny。 As I was reading， "This is just nuts！" kept up a fairly constant loop in my head。 However， at times it is also very， very funny。As with Pastis' other work （Pearls Before Swine & Timmy Failure）， the majority of the humour is in the details and asides， rather than in the main story。 So hopefully readers will push through the absurdity and join in for the ride。Any Pearls fans will enjoy the cameo appearances of Larry the Croc There are only two words to describe this graphic novel - zany and funny。 As I was reading， "This is just nuts！" kept up a fairly constant loop in my head。 However， at times it is also very， very funny。As with Pastis' other work （Pearls Before Swine & Timmy Failure）， the majority of the humour is in the details and asides， rather than in the main story。 So hopefully readers will push through the absurdity and join in for the ride。Any Pearls fans will enjoy the cameo appearances of Larry the Croc， Danny the Donkey etc。Overall， I would have liked less randomness and a stronger storyline， which would have lifted it to 4 or 5 stars， but happy to have bought it & have it on my shelf。 。。。more

Wow， so I loved this book more than I thought I'd would。 I loved the random and spontaneity of it all。 It reminded me of how Rocky and Bullwinkle episodes would unfold。 One crazy thing would lead to another and it would somehow all be connected in a way that made sense。 This was a really fun read and the ending was very surprising in a wonderful way。 Since this is book one I can only imagine the insanity that will happen in book two。 Ooh， maybe it will follow Wendy's father while he was away on Wow， so I loved this book more than I thought I'd would。 I loved the random and spontaneity of it all。 It reminded me of how Rocky and Bullwinkle episodes would unfold。 One crazy thing would lead to another and it would somehow all be connected in a way that made sense。 This was a really fun read and the ending was very surprising in a wonderful way。 Since this is book one I can only imagine the insanity that will happen in book two。 Ooh， maybe it will follow Wendy's father while he was away on his business trip and all the crazy things he had to avoid。That would be cool。 。。。more

A perfect graphic novel in so many ways。 1） Perfect for young readers to feel competence and confidence; 2） wet your pants funny for adults assisting or reading with the young readers。 Sesame St。 is brilliant with humor appealing to varied demographics adults/preschoolers; in this book， Stephan Pastis succeeds as well。 The narrative is an absurd parable of our times and our values; young readers will find it hysterical and may not know that it's a parody， but that's okay。 I adore Pearls Before S A perfect graphic novel in so many ways。 1） Perfect for young readers to feel competence and confidence; 2） wet your pants funny for adults assisting or reading with the young readers。 Sesame St。 is brilliant with humor appealing to varied demographics adults/preschoolers; in this book， Stephan Pastis succeeds as well。 The narrative is an absurd parable of our times and our values; young readers will find it hysterical and may not know that it's a parody， but that's okay。 I adore Pearls Before Swine and I love that some of those characters make cameo appearances here。 A fun and wonderful graphic novel。 Thank you Stephan Pastis。 。。。more

Peacegal ，

This comic is aggressively wacky。 Be prepared for nearly 300 pages of madcap silliness， with a storyline that involves everything from an outlaw sugar-addled squirrel to a home shaped like an enormous donut。 This one manages to be both funny and exhausting！

I have five words for this one: zany， looney， and simply fun。 I'd leave my review at that， but I need to be a bit more wordy。。。so， here we go。Wendy has a wandering spirit， which gives her the nickname Wendy the Wanderer。 Except she doesn't wander because her father is a very worried individual （since her mom is no longer there）。 When he leaves for a business trip， the babysitter should be watching her every move， but the girl doesn't。 Wendy takes the opportunity to fulfill her purpose and wander I have five words for this one: zany， looney， and simply fun。 I'd leave my review at that， but I need to be a bit more wordy。。。so， here we go。Wendy has a wandering spirit， which gives her the nickname Wendy the Wanderer。 Except she doesn't wander because her father is a very worried individual （since her mom is no longer there）。 When he leaves for a business trip， the babysitter should be watching her every move， but the girl doesn't。 Wendy takes the opportunity to fulfill her purpose and wanders to Trubble。 At the town's park， she meets a squirrel and gives him something non-peanuty to enjoy。 But little does she know how much trouble this squirrel is about to cause。This book has one purpose: to be fun and ridiculous。 And it pulls this off masterfully。 The graphic novel form is a treat to read with it's simple， bright and still on-spot illustrations。 Wendy is adorable in every way， and I can only hope we see more of her in the future。 The tale is hilarious and slides through the most crazy situations， making it one to cause more than a few laughs and giggles。 Seriousness is definitely not something found in these pages。 And that's good so because， sometimes， we just need a laugh。The writing is appropriate for the younger end of the middle grade age group all the way to the older end。 The scenes pull in and entertain， making this a book even more reluctant readers are sure to enjoy。So， yes， I am recommending this one with a huge smile。 I received an ARC and enjoyed just having fun。 。。。more

Stephan Pastis's humor is a favorite。 His characters are all zany and out of control - not unlike the state of our planet on any given day。 A fun break from "ordinary" books。 Stephan Pastis's humor is a favorite。 His characters are all zany and out of control - not unlike the state of our planet on any given day。 A fun break from "ordinary" books。 。。。more

While I thought I’d enjoy this graphic novel， I had no idea that I’d end up loving it。 Even though it’s geared toward middle-grade readers， if you’re like me， this fun novel will suck you in before you know it。 So because of that， and the fact that a couple of other adults that I’ve talked to have loved this story， I’m declaring this a book for both kids and adults。Squirrel Do Bad is the story of an overprotective dad and his daughter Wendy。 At least it starts out with those two characters。 We l While I thought I’d enjoy this graphic novel， I had no idea that I’d end up loving it。 Even though it’s geared toward middle-grade readers， if you’re like me， this fun novel will suck you in before you know it。 So because of that， and the fact that a couple of other adults that I’ve talked to have loved this story， I’m declaring this a book for both kids and adults。Squirrel Do Bad is the story of an overprotective dad and his daughter Wendy。 At least it starts out with those two characters。 We learn that Wendy has declared herself Wendy The Wanderer， Founder of V。O。O。P – Victims of Over Protective Parents。 Truth be told， Dad is quite protective， and is also a “what if” person。 He tries to help Wendy by continually warning her that there are consequences of even small actions。 But she’s not terribly worried about Dad’s warning。 Especially when she sneaks into town while her dad’s away and the babysitter isn’t watching？The story is completely silly， and at times I had to laugh out loud because of the unexpected happenings。 But Dad’s advice that everything we do has consequences became the theme。How it all tied together at the end， was something only a master of puzzles could say。 So my hat’s off to Pastis for creating such a fun story that actually had a satisfying ending。My ConcernsWhile I spent more time reading text than examining the graphics， my only tiny complaint might be that the graphics didn’t really appeal to me。Final ThoughtsI thoroughly loved this story。 It was witty and silly and my kind of humor。 So a definite thumbs up。 Both kids and adults should get a kick out of it。My thanks to Rock Star Tours and the publisher for a copy of this book。 I was free to express my true feelings regarding the book （though a pesky squirrel kept showing up waving a sign and trying to influence me。） 。。。more

Squirrel Do Bad is the first book in the new Trubble Town series。 It's a fun little graphic novel done by the author behind the Pearls Before Swine comic strip， so if you're a fan of that， you'll love this book。The story follows Wendy， a little girl in Trubble Town。 Wendy's dad is super overprotective， and she's never had the chance to explore her town。 But when her dad goes on a trip and hires a babysitter who is useless， Wendy decides now's her chance to go out and see what she's been missing。 Squirrel Do Bad is the first book in the new Trubble Town series。 It's a fun little graphic novel done by the author behind the Pearls Before Swine comic strip， so if you're a fan of that， you'll love this book。The story follows Wendy， a little girl in Trubble Town。 Wendy's dad is super overprotective， and she's never had the chance to explore her town。 But when her dad goes on a trip and hires a babysitter who is useless， Wendy decides now's her chance to go out and see what she's been missing。 Unfortunately for Wendy， that means getting herself into a whole heap of trouble， thanks to one pesky little squirrel。I found this graphic novel to be silly， a bit ridiculous at times， and overall just good fun。 The illustrations are bright and colorful， and they're done in the style of Pearls Before Swine， so it also feels both nostalgic and modern。 Wendy is amusing， but it's the other people in town who really bring the book to life。 And poor Squirrel just wanted a hot chocolate （aka a Mooshy）。 Middle-grade readers will enjoy this book， laughing out loud as they go on a wild adventure along with Wendy through Trubble Town。 4 stars！ 。。。more

SQUIRREL DO BAD is an entertaining graphic novel about the consequences of small actions。 The book begins with Wendy the Wanderer， who cannot actually wander due to her strict father， who wants to keep her safe inside and always protected。 He worries about everything， so he has found a very attentive babysitter while he is away。 However， the babysitter doesn't care about actually watching children and lets Wendy do what she wants。Wendy decides to get a mooshy， a hot cocoa with tons of marshmallo SQUIRREL DO BAD is an entertaining graphic novel about the consequences of small actions。 The book begins with Wendy the Wanderer， who cannot actually wander due to her strict father， who wants to keep her safe inside and always protected。 He worries about everything， so he has found a very attentive babysitter while he is away。 However， the babysitter doesn't care about actually watching children and lets Wendy do what she wants。Wendy decides to get a mooshy， a hot cocoa with tons of marshmallows， which she then shares with a squirrel。 The squirrel loves it too much and the sugar makes him go a bit haywire， leading to a car accident， messes， and the blowing up of the mayor's office， allegedly。 As he is prosecuted and the town attempts to recover but actually just makes a mess of more things， Wendy also tries to write her wrongs before her father comes back or finds out what she's done。What I loved: This was an overall entertaining story that felt like a series of vignettes。 Most of the story is told through overhead text， rather than speech bubbles， so it felt more like an extended picture book vs a graphic novel。 There are definitely lots of silly hijinks and bad choices to be made that are sure to make children in this age group laugh。 The chapter titles also brought a lot of humor into the story and added a nice touch。What left me wanting more: I was a bit troubled by the high number of deaths in the book as well as the frequent use of violence （many characters hitting others with objects or wishing harm）。 There are also lessons about hiding things from your parents and keeping secrets （Wendy is unable to confess before her father returns and then doesn't have to）， that I wish could have been turned into something more positive。 In terms of the text， I found the writing to be a bit too much for a graphic novel， as the pictures should be able to speak more for themselves。 The illustrations were OK， but the characters were a bit stick-figuresque and not as much was told through the images as I would have liked。 The length was also longer than I think the story needed to be， particularly without any clear themes or lessons that I would appreciate when targeted to the middle grade age range。Final verdict: Overall， SQUIRREL DO BAD is a funny middle grade graphic novel that will make children laugh。 I would recommend for older readers who can separate out the ethical problems and bad decision making from the story。Please note that I received an ARC。 All opinions are my own。 。。。more

I am not a middle schooler but this graphic novel was sweet and funny and made me wish I had a little to read it to。 If you have a little you should pick this quirky read up when it comes out。

This fun graphic novel is zany and kooky and never takes itself too seriously。 The story follows Wendy who takes advantage of her overprotective father’s absence to see a bit of the world （well， her town）。 Along the way， she gives a squirrel a sugary drink and he ends up going on a rampage of sorts and destroying the town。 Wendy must find a way to put things back together before her dad comes home and the squirrel tries to escape the harsh justice the town leaders want to bring。 The story takes This fun graphic novel is zany and kooky and never takes itself too seriously。 The story follows Wendy who takes advantage of her overprotective father’s absence to see a bit of the world （well， her town）。 Along the way， she gives a squirrel a sugary drink and he ends up going on a rampage of sorts and destroying the town。 Wendy must find a way to put things back together before her dad comes home and the squirrel tries to escape the harsh justice the town leaders want to bring。 The story takes some truly wacky twists and turns and there are lots of animal （and donut） side plots。 And everything ends up getting wrapped up in some pretty unexpected ways！Kids who love goofy humor will get a kick out of this。 The art style is pretty simplistic but fun， and the story goes in a lot of crazy directions， but it isn’t hard to follow。 I passed my copy along to Bernie’s Book Bank， and I think any kid will be delighted to find this one in their bag of books！***Disclosure: I received this book from the publisher via Rockstar Book Tours in exchange for an honest review。 No other compensation was given and all opinions are my own。*** 。。。more
