The Bad Guys

The series teaches that people can change, that first impressions aren't always accurate, and that doing good deeds feels better than being bad. The characters model personal growth, teamwork, and empathy. The graphic novel format makes reading approachable and fun for kids who might resist traditional chapter books.

Aaron Blabey has created an absolute page-turner series that kids devour. The art is bold and energetic, the humor is genuinely funny for both kids and adults, and the chapters are short enough to keep attention. The series has spawned a successful movie adaptation. It's the perfect bridge between picture books and chapter books.
