My kids (5 and 7) adore this graphic novel series and the many silly adventures of Blue, Barry & Pancakes. In Mayhem on Wheels, the three friends are back with their normal shenanigans and find themselves competing in a new sport: Roller Duck Ball. The game was bonkers (they loved how the final match up reminded them of Space Jam), the competition fierce, and the jokes kept my young readers laughing.

This graphic novel series is so delightful with the most vibrant and whimsical art that keeps readers of all ages engaged. While we love reading the series together as a family, it is such a wonderful beginning graphic novel for emerging readers - my 5 year old gets so excited to spot sight and high frequency words and doesn’t feel overwhelmed by lots of text.

My kids gave this latest installment five out of five stacks of pancakes. If you have a younger reader who loves stories about adventure, friendship, and teamwork with lots of silliness, they will adore Blue, Barry & Pancakes: Mayhem on Wheels!

Thank you @01firstsecondbooks for the eARC and helping me score cool mom points!

Blue, Barry & Pancakes is such a fantastic graphic novel series for young readers! Full of silly shenanigans this series is perfect for the young reader. In the latest story the three friends find themselves competing in the nonsensical sport Roller Duck Ball and DOMINATING! They've got fans and merchandise, until they don't. Their fame is short lived, and just as suddenly they find themselves replaced by another team. Also, the world, or at least the stadium, may now be in danger.

This charming story is first, fully of the sillies, and second, a gentle question - is winning the MOST important thing of all? Friendship wins the day.

This book is ADORABLE. I can see the children at my library LOVING this book. I'm sad that it won't be published until April 2024, but I know it'll be worth the wait. The illustrations are stunning and the story is so cute. Readers will fall in love with this book.
