Condition: BRAND NEW. Format: Hardback. ISBN: 9781338896398. Publisher: Scholastic. Age Range: 7+. Overview:. Cat Kid Comic Club 5: Influencers is the fifth graphic novel in Dav Pilkey's phenomenally popular spin-off series from Dog Man, following a class of twenty-one baby frogs as they wrestle with the highs and lows of creativity, confidence and collaboration. Written and drawn with Pilkey's signature blend of slapstick humour and gentle emotional insight, it's packed with mini-comics-within-the-comic that reward re-reading. Perfect for reluctant readers, comic fans and anyone hooked on the Dog Man universe, this hardback is a must for home and school bookshelves alike.. About the Book:. When the Cat Kid Comic Club learns that one of their comics is going to be published, panic sets in among the twenty-one frog siblings. Naomi and Melvin, the club's most talented creators, must navigate jealousy and self-doubt, while gentle Flippy tries to keep the peace. Li'l Petey and Molly guide the group back towards the joy of making comics for its own sake rather than for likes and approval — a timely message given the book's title. Along the way, readers enjoy a run of hilarious mini-comics created by the frog characters, including the action-packed "Frogzilla vs. Mechafrogzilla" and "RoboChubbs," plus the more reflective "Two Birds," which offers a touching lesson about perspective and kindness. Pilkey's trademark mix of full-colour artwork, visual gags and genuinely funny dialogue keeps the pace brisk, while the underlying themes of authenticity and supporting friends over competing with them give the story real heart beneath the laughs. Like the rest of the series, the book champions the idea that every child has a unique creative voice worth sharing, told through a framework kids instantly recognise. It's a graphic novel that entertains cover to cover while quietly encouraging young readers to pick up a pencil themselves.. By Dav Pilkey, the multi-million-copy bestsell
