Short & Skinny
Short & Skinny | Mark Tatulli
5 posts | 5 read
New from syndicated comic strip artist Mark Tatulli comes a full-color middle grade graphic novel that centers on Mark's own experience in the summer after seventh grade. As a middle schooler, Mark finds himself on the smaller side of the physical spectrum--being short AND skinny has really wreaked havoc on his confidence. So to end his bullying woes and get the girl--or at least the confidence to talk to the girl--he starts to explore bulking up by way of the miracle cures in the backs of his comics. But his obsession with beefing up is soon derailed by a new obsession: Star Wars, the hottest thing to hit the summer of 1977. As he explores his creative outlets as well as his cures to body image woes, Mark sets out to make his own stamp on the film that he loves. Mark Tatulli's graphic novel debut is a humorous and heartfelt take on body-image, finding a creative outlet, and spending a summer in the 70's.

This graphic novel is epic! Loved everything about it, it transported me back to my high school days SO HARD! We used to make elaborate movies just like these kids... and loved Star Wars! Nerds rejoice and put this on your TBR.

Super cute! A graphic novel with a similar feel to the Telgemeir ones, but from a male perspective. Plus, it‘s set in 1977 and has a plot about Star Wars.

It‘s 1977 & Mark is one of the shortest & skinniest kids in school where the bullies are fierce & the girl he has a crush on is way too amazing to actually talk to...And then he goes to see this movie called Star Wars & everything changes. Filled with all the awkwardness & humor of the middle school years, this is a delightful story about knowing who you are & finding your passion. A good read sure to resonate with young readers.
