On his first day at his new school, Puffin is thrilled when Penguin is assigned to be his buddy - Penguin's the coolest kid in the school! But Puffin quickly learns that the coolest kid is also the busiest kid, especially with Penguin starring as King Midas in the school play. Puffin realizes he's on his own when it comes to making friends - and what better way than joining the stage crew? When a blackout threatens the play's opening night, it's up to Puffin to save the day! This early graphic novel from bestselling and award-winning creators Helaine Becker and Kevin Sylvester is sure to win the hearts of emerging readers with its lighthearted humor, schoolyard drama and endearing lead characters.

Editorial Reviews
A great graphic novel for early readers ... filled with bird jokes and new school drama ... the illustrations contribute to the quirky humor and cute factor and perfectly reflect the writing.
School Library Journal
... panels are bright, fetching, and easy to follow ... readers will love the relatability of the animal characters (and their frequent bird jokes).
