My students are going to go crazy for this! It has a story from EVERY popular children's graphic novel author of the moment. Favorites were the first by Gene Luen Yang (srs ninja lessons) and the last by Dave Roman and Raina Telgemeier (KICKBALL RPG! SOGOOD!).

10 different stories by popular comics artists that all incorporate the idea of recess in some way. My favorites were the stories by Dan Santat (heavily incorporates [b:The Giving Tree|370493|The Giving Tree|Shel Silverstein|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1174210942s/370493.jpg|30530]) and Raina Telgemeier & Dave Roman (a rain-delayed game of kickball is played indoors D&D-style with a 12-sided die). The weak point was the story by Eric Wight, where rival foods settle their differences on the playground - kinda pedestrian and preachy in its anti-bullying message. Overall, a super-fun read that I'll recommend to kids who enjoy Babymouse/Squish and Lunch Lady.

Recess was never my favorite subject, but this is a great collection of stories that readers will enjoy. No recess love required.

This was a cute compilation of graphic novellas from some of my favorite authors - with the theme of recess. Gene Luen Yang's Super Secret Ninja Club story was by far my favorite. It just had the essence of all his other graphic novels. Raina Telgemeier's story about kickball RPG-style was incredible. It was so much fun and the poke at the former VP made me giggle. You'll see what I mean when you read it (it's one of those things that kids may not get, but adult definitely will).

Great variety of comics which will appeal to anyone in upper elementary school with a sense of humor. Zipped through it too quickly; wish there was more.

Not every story was 5 out of 5 stars, but there were some pretty amazing short stories in this comic. I loved the last one that had the kids playing around of D&D for recess since they couldn't go outside and have a actual kickball game. It's a fun collection of stories by different artist and authors. It would be a huge hit with my Middle Schoolers.
