MG - Graphic Novel - The Cartoonists Club

The Cartoonists Club by Raina Telgemeier, Scott McCloud

From the Publisher: Graphix, April 1, 2025

Makayla is bursting with ideas but doesn't know how to make them into a story. Howard loves to draw, but he struggles to come up with ideas and his dad thinks comics are a waste of time. Lynda constantly draws in her sketchbook but keeps focusing on what she feels are mistakes, and Art simply loves being creative and is excited to try something new. They come together to form The Cartoonists Club, where kids can learn about making comics and use their creativity and imagination for their own storytelling adventures!


This is the perfect book for budding artists, writers, illustrators. We get to go along for the ride and join the cartoonists club where they learn all about how to make comics. We learn comic book/graphic novel jargon, see examples, and the story shows the development of their friendships, their comic book abilities, as well as the support they offer each other. 

I found The Cartoonists Club is inspirational and encouraging. And I loved it when they broke the fourth wall, talking to the reader. I love the unconventional way the story is told and enjoyed the fun along the way.
