Rex Ogle and Dave Valeza pit a seventh grader against his greatest enemy, puberty, and its minions, acne and body odor.

Middle School Monday: Four Eyes by Rex Ogle & Dave Valeza 

Rex is having lots of problems adjusting to the 6th grade. He’s short, he’s the target of bullies, his closest friendship is falling apart, and he’s having trouble keeping up in class. His home life isn’t much better, and it doesn’t help that he’s also dealing with family problems and financial insecurity. 

When the answer to one of his problems is discovered (he’s having trouble keeping up in class because his vision is blurry), the solution should be simple, right? WRONG. His mom and stepdad can only afford the cheapest (and ugliest) pair of glasses in the store. If they want to buy glasses that will fix his vision and ALSO look cool, they’ll have to ask his father to pay for them … but that will make the tension between his parents even worse than it was before. 

Out this week: Four Eyes (Graphix, $12.99):

Rex Ogle and Dave Valeza explore the perils of sixth grade as a kid named Rex deals with bullies, family issues and the fact that he now has to wear glasses.
