Recess Warriors: Bad Guy Is a Two-Word Word (Recess Warriors #2)
by Marcus Emerson (Author) Marcus Emerson (Illustrator)
With high energy, action-packed four-color art and a hilarious, page-turning story, the graphic novel Recess Warriors 2: Bad Guy Is a Two-Word Word is another surefire win from Marcus Emerson, the creator of the hit series Diary of a 6th Grade Ninja!
Recess is ready to rumble--AGAIN.
A super villain is unleashing hordes of vampires, werewolves, and more to take over recess once and for all. Meanwhile, rifts have developed among our heroes: Yoshi is now leader of the pirates, Scrap has a new sidekick, and Clinton is haunted by a traumatic event from the past--and it involves an evil dentist!
Will they unite to defeat the mysterious super villain? Can they harness the power of "the jinx" and use it to overcome their enemies? Who is the mysterious Simon? And why does everyone do what he says?

Gr 4-6--The battle for control over the playground continues. A supervillain has released supernatural elements into the chaos that is recess, and rifts between the heroes of the story make it difficult to defeat the enemy. Past wrongs will have to be righted and apologies made to unite the heroes and ultimately bring down the bad guys. A large cast of characters, complicated backstories, nonstop adventure, romance (well, puppy love), plot twists, and cliff-hangers give this series a soap opera feel. Time travel sequences and witty one-liners keep the plot moving steadily, like a TV program. The vibrant, stylized artwork is action-packed and reminiscent of manga, making this title ideal for fans of Doug TenNapel, Kazu Kibuishi, and Mike Maihack. VERDICT Purchase where the first volume circulates heavily and where middle grade graphic novels are in high demand.--Samantha Lumetta, Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County

Review quotes
Praise for Recess Warriors: Hero is a Four-Letter Word
"Emerson creates a rich world full of epic adventures and hilarious one-liners . . . It's highly imaginative and strikingly familiar to the real games kids play. Emerson's story is only matched by his artwork; richly detailed and textured, his stylized figures are imbued with dynamic movement, and the variety of skin tones among the kids on the playground is refreshing. This archly funny, spot-on comic adventure will hit home for elementary-school kids far and wide." —Booklist, starred review
"A welcome throwback to the way recess should be." —Kirkus Reviews
"An imaginative tale of a recess hero who rescues the playground from a zombie infestation . . . Give to fans of Doug TenNapel's Cardboard or Judd Winick's "Hilo" series." —School Library Journal
"Now this is how recess should be—cooperative, technology-free fun . . . Readers will eagerly await the next volume." —The Bulletin
"While it's hard to compete with recess, this book serves up enough excitement to be a close second." —Publishers Weekly
