Mighty Jack
FROM SARAH:
Ben Hatke, what else do I need to say? This twist on Jack and Beanstalk is told in graphic novel form. Heads up for mild language. I typically recommend it for ages 8+.
FROM THE PUBLISHER:
Jack might be the only kid in the world who's dreading summer. But he's got a good reason: summer is when his single mom takes a second job and leaves him at home to watch his autistic kid sister, Maddy. It's a lot of responsibility, and it's boring, too, because Maddy doesn't talk. Ever.
