Wild Ride buzzes OLA Super Conference

As one of the few graphic novels specifically written for kids, Wild Ride caused a good deal of buzz at the recent OLA Super Conference. Thanks to all the teacher-librarians who said hi and got a copy for their school library. Your kids will love it, but I am a bit biased on the matter.

While new readers across the country are discovering Wild Ride, I have the pleasure of checking out Mike Deas’ totally cool inks for Ramp Rats, the next Graphic Guide Adventure, due out this fall.

Ramp Rats has some characters that’ll be familiar to Wild Ride readers and a bunch of new ones too. It also has some great skating action and Mike’s illustrations capture all those grinds, kickflips and massive airs perfectly. I wish I could give you a sneak peak, but you’ll have to be patient.

Soon Graphic Guiders, soon . . .
