Four Eyes: A Graphic Novel (Four Eyes #1) By Rex Ogle, Dave Valeza (Illustrator) Cover Image

Four Eyes: A Graphic Novel (Four Eyes #1) (Paperback)

By Rex Ogle, Dave Valeza (Illustrator)
$12.99

In middle school, finding friends is like finding glasses - blurry and headache inducing - but worth the effort in the end. Rex's story adds another great contender for realistic graphic novel that kids eat up!

(Graphic novel, ages 9+) - Reviewed by Jessica
