Happyface

By Stephen Emond (Hardcover Book, 2010)

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.

Praise for Emo Boy:

"Although this is a collection of comic book episodes, it reads like a good novel, allowing the reader to identify with Emo Boy... This wonderful graphic novel will capture the attention of any young adult who picks it up. Highly recommended." --Library Journal, starred review

"Steve Emond will be with us for a long while and his writing, art, letters, and perspective are enhancing the comic landscape while taking new readers by the hand."--Broken Frontier
