Description

In this hilarious, hijinks-filled graphic novel super-swine Batpig is ready to face even bigger bullies, harder fights, and scariest of all--meeting his superhero idol.

Ordinary pig, Gary Yorkshire, has his entire life turned upside down when a bite on the nose from a radioactive bat turns him into . . . BATPIG. With the support of his best friends, Brooklyn the bat and Carl the fish, he finally feels like he's getting a handle on this whole superhero business. That is, until he faces a battle against time itself, when an underappreciated janitor slows down the clock so much that a math class never ever ends (the horror!). Can Batpig save the class from never-ending fractions?

Critical Reviews

An ALA 2022 Best Graphic Novels for Children Reading List Selection

"No sophomore slump here: Harrell's newest offering blends snicker-suffused action with a gentle emphasis on the importance of friendship. More hilarious, high-energy, hammed-up hijinks." --Kirkus
