Description
Perfect for animal lovers and fans of Lumberjanes, here is a hilarious graphic novel about a boy named Finch with the not-so-secret ability to control animals, and his mission to save the school musical and win the heart of his crush.
Finch Eaglehawk may seem like an average oddball with a taste for the dramatic and glam-rock musical numbers, but he has a secret. Finch is a PetWizard, with the ability to control the animal kingdom--well, the "et cetera" category of the animal kingdom. Though he loves his naked mole rats, bearded dragons, and boa constrictors, Finch yearns for more. With the help of his best friend, Aberdeen, a mysterious new kid named Erica, and an ancient PetMaster manual, Finch tries to learn how to own his powers and use them to help those in need, protect the vulnerable, and, most important, impress his crush, Ken Chu, the star of the upcoming school musical.

Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"Funny and fabulous!!"--Dav Pilkey, author and illustrator of the Dog Man series "I've never wanted anything more than to be a PetWizard, and the number of times I snort-laughed while reading this book makes me think I might have a future as a pig-controlling one."--Colleen AF Venable, author of the Katie the Catsitter series "Bizarre yet relatable characters, off-putting yet cute critters, and familiar messages about identity, fitting in, and being oneself ferried via uplifting storytelling make for a goofy adventure."--Publishers Weekly "An excellent addition where bizarre humor and loud graphics are popular."--School Library Journal "With absurd, offbeat humor and bold, psychedelically colored artwork that perfectly matches the off-the-wall high jinks, Scroggs' laugh-packed middle school story nicely balances the humor with a believable array of emotions to drive the story forward."--Booklist
