The Lizk't family of Elberon now passes as the Tomkins family of Eagle Valley. \"Tommy Tomkins\" wears a human face to school but can't seem to fit in no matter \u003ci\u003ehow \u003c\/i\u003ehe looks. The basketball team becomes a pipe dream when bullies label him a bug eater, and only Dung Tran, an immigrant from Vietnam and fellow outsider, sees Tommy for who he is inside, which is nothing like the outer-space lizard invaders on TV's hottest series. Can their friendship survive the truth? In his first solo middle-grade book, award-winning creator Jonathan Hill perfectly captures the sometimes dystopian drama of middle school while reminding readers of the universal need for belonging.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mocorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-16599042\"\u003eJonathan Hill\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Walker Books Us\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/27\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 6.07w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781536216509\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 153621650X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mocorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-JUV\"\u003eJuvenile Fiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mocorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-JUV008110\"\u003eComics \u0026amp; Graphic Novels | Humorous\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mocorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-JUV\"\u003eJuvenile Fiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mocorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-JUV039250\"\u003eSocial Themes | Emigration, Immigration \u0026amp; Refugees\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mocorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-JUV\"\u003eJuvenile Fiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mocorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-JUV019000\"\u003eHumorous Stories\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJonathan Hill\u003c\/b\u003e is the creator of \u003ci\u003eOdessa\u003c\/i\u003e and the cocreator of \u003ci\u003eAmericus\u003c\/i\u003e and\u003ci\u003e Science Comics: Wild Weather: Storms\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Meteorology\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e and Climate\u003c\/i\u003e.
