Sixth Grader Ty Bogart has gotten a part in the school musical!  It’s opening up a whole new world to him:  he’s making new friends, talking to way older women (some of them as old as EIGHTH GRADE), and going to big kid parties (which go until 9 PM, if you can believe it).  Ty is going to act, he’s going to dance, he’s going to sing, he’s going to kiss a girl right on the forehead in Act 2. 

There’s just one problem: whenever Ty has to perform in front of people, he loses his voice.   Can he find it before opening night? 

SIXTH GRADE SUPERSTAR is a hilarious coming of age story written and illustrated by Brian Lynch, the guy who wrote MINIONS and co-wrote THE SECRET LIFE OF PETS, and was in plays in middle school, where he kissed many foreheads, so he definitely knows what he’s talking about.

Praise for SIXTH GRADE SUPERSTAR

“There’s enough of my former 11 year old self in Ty Bogart’s adventures and friends to delight, engage, amuse and horrify me — all at frigging once!   Brian Lynch— a savagely funny artist — pulls off no easy trick of with SIXTH GRADE SUPERSTAR.”

Berkeley Breathed, creator of BLOOM COUNTY

“The thing that makes Brian Lynch such a great writer for kids is that he’s basically a big kid himself. He knows what makes kids laugh (and think) because he has the maturity of a 12 year old, in all the best ways. SIXTH GRADE SUPERSTAR will resonate with ungainly tweens and the ungainly adults who love them. “

Michael Ian Black, author and actor

“Lynch perfectly captures that in-between period of childhood innocence and awkward tweendom that is both nostalgic and cringe, but most importantly hilarious. The book is filled with laughter, heart and some damn fine cartooning. A coming of age comedy made for every late bloomer goofball.”

Jordan Blum, Creator of MARVEL’S M.O.D.O.K. and MINOR THREATS

“I want to give the sixth grade Brian a big hug and the adult Brian a big high five! I laughed, I cried, I tried to style my hair with a curling iron. Sixth Grade Superstar is a fantastic read for all ages!”

Scott Mosier, director of DR. SEUSS’ THE GRINCH
