Should be back in stock very soon
In the midst of a family dinner with her scolding parents, Maya receives an unexpected invitation to dine with the Queen. Suddenly, her messy manners are put to the ultimate test and she begins to improvise her very own set of rules, with uproarious results. Filled with humor and exquisitely imagined detail, this book by Eisner Award-winner Rutu Modan is bound to turn every child into a voracious reader.
Modan’s beautifully expressive clear-line cartoons work well in a story for children, and the story itself has just the right twists for new readers to enjoy and maybe even hazard a chance of predicting...Another winner from TOON.
—Booklist
The sparse, effective dialogue works seamlessly with the colorful, detailed pictures to tell this simple but engaging story. Various panel sizes perfectly pace the story’s sequences. Modan, an award-winning illustrator and graphic novelist, skillfully depicts Maya’s sensitivity and spiritedness through keenly drawn facial expressions and body movements...Young readers will devour the visual details and cheer on Maya as she asserts her individuality.
—Library Media Connection
Ridiculous and hysterical, perfect for messy eaters and those who are forbidden to have their own fun at the table.
