Description
Look out, world! Tad is back with another hilarious and highly illustrated year-in-the-blog, from Emmy® Award-winning writer Tim Carvell, and based on a column in MAD Magazine.
Tad may have survived seventh grade, but his troubles are just getting started. From his first sort-of date (a disaster) to his semi-formal dance (a bigger disaster), Tad just wants to make it out of this year alive. But that’s not the only reason he keeps a blog. Tad also has a lot of important thoughts he needs to get off his chest, like: “I don’t get the phrase ‘you are what you eat. ’ It seems to me like the only people that’s true for are cannibals. ”
From his pithy pop-culture observations to longer episodes told in his unforgettably deadpan humor, Tad is what bestselling author Tom Angleberger calls the “actually funny stand-up-comic-in-waiting that I wanted to be in middle school. ” With uproarious illustrations alongside Tad’s daily blog entries, this unique format is perfect for anyone who wants a quick laugh or a long-lasting smile. But don’t take our word for it. Here’s what a few very important people had to say about the first book, Planet Tad:
“Hilarious to anyone who ever went through, is currently in, might go to, or flunked out of middle school. ” —Jon Stewart
“This book will make you laugh. If you’re not into that sort of thing, consider yourself warned. ” —Stephen Colbert
