Description
Drawing on the experiences of his Vietnamese American family and his love of â?T80s sci-fi shows, Jonathan Hill crafts a funny, insightful graphic novel about the immigrant experience and the perils of middle school. Threatened with diminishing resources, Booger Lizkâ?Tt and his family flee their lizard community deep below Earthâ?Ts crust to survive above among humans. The Lizkâ?Tt family of Elberon now passes as the Tomkins family of Eagle Valley. â?oTommy Tomkinsâ?? wears a human face to school but canâ?Tt seem to fit in no matter how he looks. The basketball team becomes a pipe dream when bullies label him a bug eater, and only Dung Tran, an immigrant from Vietnam and fellow outsider, sees Tommy for who he is inside, which is nothing like the outer-space lizard invaders on TVâ?Ts hottest series. Can their friendship survive the truth? In his first solo middle-grade book, award-winning creator Jonathan Hill perfectly captures the sometimes dystopian drama of middle school while reminding readers of the universal need for belonging.
