Publisher Description
For fans of Catwad and The First Cat in Space, here is a hilariously over-the-top middle-grade graphic novel about a cat and his genius hairball who accidentally destroy the universe.
Huck does NOT like change. In fact, he lives the same day on repeat. Same canned cat food. Same indoor luxury. Same time spent with his brainy, yet insecure, best friend Hairball—a damp lump of hair that Huck hacked up.
But when Hairball invents a time machine with the hopes of gaining the respect of the scientific community, Huck accidentally sets in motion a series of events that breaks the universe and ruins his string of unchanging days. Oops.
With the end of the world in balance, it’s up to these unlikely heroes to save it. What they find out is that the key to saving the world is also what they want most of all …
Rich Moyer's take on time travel is without-a-doubt hilarious, and the duo he's crafted is perfectly suited for kids who are searching for a good laugh. And his vibrant colors and energetic panels add the perfect amount of visual humor to the story, making Huck 'N' Hairball a rip-roaring graphic novel.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Two unlikely heroes contend with a broken timeline and discover the true meaning of friendship in this goofy graphic novel by Moyer (the Ham Helsing series). Spoiled house cat Huck is perfectly happy to live the same day over and over. His predictable routine is upended when his mad scientist best friend Hairball—a personified wad of purple fur who dreams of achieving scientific acclaim—presents Huck with his newest invention: the titular litterbox time machine. After Huck's meddling causes the device to go haywire, the duo is jettisoned into an alternate dimension in which they never existed, resulting in a time paradox that threatens the fate of the entire universe. Witty repartee, physical humor, and a constant stream of bizarre, sometimes gross, shenanigans launch readers on a laugh-out-loud roller-coaster ride. Bold colors and high-energy compositions laden with visual gags amplify the absurdity of the protagonists' adventure and leaves room for heartwarming moments. Beneath the folly lies a subtly poignant reminder that true friendship often requires adaptability, compromise, and patience to flourish. The result is a deceptively sweet time-traveling tale that recalls the over-the-top antics of Catwad. Ages 8–12.
