Short & Skinny, by Mark Tatulli
A really fun graphic novel that came out last year, but I had a second copy added to the library collection so I took the time to read it before putting it out on the shelves! I'm not sure who would enjoy this more - kids or adults! Author Tatulli basically tells us what his life was like in 1977, when he was a kid in school, one of the shortest kids in his class and skinny. This led to a lot of teasing by his family and bullying from other kids at school. As he tried to avoid the bullies and get taller and less skinny, the first Star Wars movie was released in theaters, and his life changed forever!
