Happyface
Full Description
Just put on a happy face! Enter Happyface's journal and get a peek into the life of a shy, artistic boy who decides to reinvent himself as a happy-go-lucky guy after he moves to a new town. See the world through his hilariously self-deprecating eyes as he learns to shed his comic-book-loving, computer-game playing ways. Join him as he makes new friends, tries to hide from his past, and ultimately learns to face the world with a genuine smile. With a fresh and funny combination of text and fully integrated art, Happyface is an original storytelling experience.

Our Hip Scouts review Happyface:
Happyface was a great book! You are captured every detail of his journal as if you were experiencing it yourself. This book makes you think twice before you put labels on to other people before you actually get to know who they are.

Happyface is a fun and witty book that is sure to put a smile on your face. It is written in a journal style so that makes it very interesting and appealing the eye. This book reminds us that it's okay to forgive and forget and lets us know that if you are you, you are perfect. The fact that Happyface remains faceless lets you know that anyone could be in this situation.

Happyface reads as though you’re sneaking a peek at a classmate’s journal. And in doing so, it tells the honest story of a family’s troubles and a boy who just wants to move on and fit it. An honest story about a boy who hides behind lies and a smiling face – what could be better!
