by Ben Hatke (Author)
From New York Times-bestselling author and illustrator Ben Hatke comes Mighty Jack, a magical, action-packed graphic novel adventure for middle-grade readers.
Jack dreads summer. His single mom takes a second job, leaving him stuck at home to watch his autistic sister, Maddy--a lot of responsibility, and even more boredom, since Maddy never talks. That is, until one day at the flea market, she breaks her silence with a bold instruction: trade their mom's car for a box of mysterious seeds.
What starts as a simple garden soon transforms into a wild, magical jungle--filled with tiny onion babies running amok, enormous pink pumpkins with a taste for mischief, and, on one unforgettable moonlit night...a dragon.
Filled with lush illustrations, imaginative magic, and thrilling adventure,
Mighty Jack is perfect for fans of fantasy, graphic novels, and stories about courage, family, and unexpected heroism.
