Sib Squad

A Junior Library Guild Selection

Bask in the gleeful rebellion of three younger siblings as they seek bold adventures far away from their older siblings in this hilarious early graphic novel from a Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist.

The youngest of seven siblings, Lucy, Bruce, and Oliver are sick and tired of being told that they are too little to do the things their older siblings do. In a bout of bored frustration, they band together to form Sib Squad--a club of their own dedicated to having ＂amazing, mind-blowing adventures.＂ And adventures they have! Award-winning cartoonist Steve Breen crafts a riotously fun look at sibling dynamics that will be beloved by downtrodden younger siblings everywhere.

In this first book in the series, the Sib Squad launches the club at their tree house headquarters, then find themselves drawn into multiple adventures that include wishes at a wishing well gone wrong and an unlikely encounter with a younger sibling from outer space. As young readers delve into the trio’s hijinks, they will find themselves struck with uncontrollable giggles and an unquenchable desire to seek adventures of their own.

Steve Breen grew up in Orange County, California, as the oldest of seven siblings, and he now has a bunch of kids of his own. So Steve knows siblings! He is fascinated by kids and the things they do, the stuff they say, and the clubs they create. He enjoys working in his home studio in San Diego County, even when the house gets noisy and his art supplies mysteriously go missing.

Steve has won two Pulitzer Prizes (1998, 2009) for his editorial cartoon work and several broadcasting Emmys for his video work. He now draws for inewsource.org. He is also the author-illustrator of several children’s books, including Stick, Violet the Pilot, and Woodpecker Wants a Waffle.
