Ellie McDoodle: Have Pen, Will Travel

One girl. One sketchbook. One week of camping
with the world's most annoying relatives!

Ellie McDougal (better known to her friends as McDoodle) is
being held prisoner . . . by her aunt, uncle, three annoying
cousins, and baby brother, Ben-Ben.
Sentenced to a camping trip with them while her parents are
out of town, Ellie is absolutely, positively determined to hate
every single minute of it.
Thank goodness she at least has her sketch journal in which to
record all of the excruciating (and, ahem, funny) details.
But how will Ellie keep her journal from falling into Er-ick the
Enemy's hands?
And what will happen if -- inconceivable! -- she actually starts
having fun?
Part graphic novel, part confessional journal, part wilderness
survival guide, Ellie's story is a treat for young campers,
vacationers, or any kid looking to curl up with a great
summer read.

See how the design changed from hardcover to soft?
I've taken polls in school visits and it seems
half the kids prefer the hardcover look and
half the kids prefer the softcover look!
But that's ok because you can find either one in bookstores.

Why does the paperback have more pages
than the hardcover?

Because we've added this really cool section at the back
of the paperback, which teaches some neat drawing tips
and an interview with the author.
