My Life as a Cartoonist

Middle-school mishaps spark creative salvation.

If you've ever felt misunderstood or underestimated, Derek's journey in "My Life as a Cartoonist" might resonate with you. Through a blend of humor and the chaos of middle-school life, it shows how creativity can both complicate and enhance friendships. Janet Tashjian's inclusion of her son's illustrations adds a personal touch, making this book not just a narrative, but a visual experience that encourages self-expression and empathy.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

In Book Three of the popular "My Life . . ." series by Janet Tashjian, Derek Fallon's plan to help out a new classmate backfires miserably. There's a new kid in Derek Fallon's class. His name is Umberto and he uses a wheelchair. Derek's family is still fostering Frank the monkey, and Derek thinks it would be great to train Frank to assist Umberto. But Derek quickly realizes that Umberto is definitely not looking for any help. Derek soon becomes the butt of Umberto's jokes. On top of that, Umberto starts stealing Derek's cartoon ideas and claiming them as his own. How did Derek get himself into this mess, and how can he find a way out before he is the laughingstock of school? The answer may very well be his cartoon strip―SUPER FRANK! My Life as a Cartoonist features illustrations by Janet Tashjian's son, Jake Tashjian.
