Book Details

Craig of the Creek meets the schoolyard in this irresistibly fun middle-grade graphic novel from Marcus Emerson, author of the hit Diary of a 6th Grade Ninja series.

When imaginations run wild at recess, anything can happen. Normal kids become world-saving heroes, girls become power-hungry pirates, and zombies take over the school after being infected by the dreaded epidemic—cooties!

It's up to Scrap, his partner Yoshi (who is most definitely not a sidekick!), and Clinton, the baddest cowboy in the, um, badlands, to stop recess from collapsing into total apocalyptic chaos.

With dynamic full-color art and nonstop action, Recess Warriors is perfect for fans of The Bad Guys and Investigators.

In The News

“Emerson creates a rich world full of epic adventures and hilarious one-liners . . . It’s highly imaginative and strikingly familiar to the real games kids play. Emerson’s story is only matched by his artwork; richly detailed and textured, his stylized figures are imbued with dynamic movement, and the variety of skin tones among the kids on the playground is refreshing. This archly funny, spot-on comic adventure will hit home for elementary-school kids far and wide.” —Booklist, starred review

“A welcome throwback to the way recess should be.” —Kirkus Reviews

An imaginative tale of a recess hero who rescues the playground from a zombie infestation . . . Give to fans of Doug TenNapel’s Cardboard or Judd Winick’s “Hilo” series.” —School Library Journal

“Now this is how recess should be—cooperative, technology-free fun . . . Readers will eagerly await the next volume.” —The Bulletin

While it’s hard to compete with recess, this book serves up enough excitement to be a close second.” —Publishers Weekly
