Description

Flashlights? Check! Scary movies? Check! Ghost Peppers?! Pizza and Taco are ready to prove they're brave as can be in their latest graphic chapter book! Nothing scares these besties...or so they say.

Pizza and Taco aren't afraid! To prove it, they dare each other to be scared. Dark closets and scary movies are a piece of cake--kind of. They're ready for the ultimate test--Ghost Pepper hunting! Pizza and Taco are sure they won't get scared...they made a list, after all!

This hilarious young graphic novel--with chapters--will tickle the funny bones of kids ages 5-8 and bolster their reading confidence. Young graphic chapter books are a great step on the way to graphic novels and longer chapter books. Readers will also love the first five books in the series:
Who's the Best?
Best Party Ever!
Super-Awesome Comic!
Too Cool for School
Rock Out!

Critical Reviews

"YAAAS! This lunch bunch serves pure silliness." -Kirkus Reviews

"A perfect choice for early readers beginning their climb to Dog Man." -Booklist

"Fans of Clanton's Narwhal and Jelly series will find these foodie friends particularly appealing." -The Bulletin

"There's plenty of gross-out humor for kids. Readers will relate to the joy and frustration of friendly competition, and the hilarity of watching an animated taco and slice of pizza do their best-friends dance is not to be missed. A delightful graphic novel for young readers." -School Library Journal

Kid praise for Pizza and Taco: Who's the Best?

"This book is really funny! I love this book, because...PIZZA!" -Charlie, age 7

"It's a great mix of friendship, competition, and delicious food!" -Shira, age 9
