Book Synopsis

In this colorful graphic novel, the Fry Guys--a team of three French fries--must do whatever it takes to defend their home against an invasion of evil UFO-nion Rings. ZZZAT! Ketchup blast. Ah, good grease.

"Spud-tacular ... Using colors as emphatic as the frequent sound effects, Ho cranks up the temperature in simply drawn panels of fast-food action that, ultimately, hurtles headlong into a peaceable caramelization and general celebrations of both differences and three new 'home fry heroes.' Readers will demand extra helpings."--Kirkus

"With zany illustrations, clever wordplay, and laugh-out-loud storytelling, this graphic novel is exactly the right kind of good-humored silliness for emerging readers who are just beginning to discover the fun of books."--School Library Journal

"The memorable potato characters and hilarious antics make this perfect for kids just getting into reading comics independently. Betcha can't read just one!"--Booklist
