Aldo Zelnick is not an athlete like his older brother or a rock collector like his best friend; he is just a regular child who likes to draw. One summer Aldo's grandma, Goosy, gives him a sketchbook in which to record all of his ideas and adventures, and Aldo quickly discovers how much fun cartooning is. From petitioning for a neighbourhood pool slide to hispassion for slushies, Aldo illustrates his summer holiday, wacky friends, and loving family in this charming comic novel that blends text with illustrations on every page.
Karla Oceanak has been a writer and editor for more than 20 years. She has ghostwritten numerous self-help books and is a public speaker for childhood literacy. Kendra Spanjer is an illustrator and studio artist. They both live in Fort Collins, CO.
