Publisher Description
For readers of Dog Man and The Bad Guys comes a fun and zany early graphic novel series starring a crew of scissor-wielding hairdresser superheroes saving the city from evildoers bent on creating havoc and bad haircuts.
The Snips is a superhero series filled with action, adventure, comedy, and hijinks for readers who love Dav Pilkey and animated television shows like Scooby-Doo and Guess Who. The Snips aren’t your average heroes – Casco, Patty, Letty, Nubes, and Flealix the Dog make up Scissor City's beloved crew of crime-fighting, mystery-solving barbers! But not everyone in Scissor City is a fan of their dazzling dos and wacky hair inventions. Buzz and Boffo Buzzington, the descendants of the creator of the buzz cut, have been desperately trying to find a way to overthrow the Snips, restore Buzz Corp—their family's company—to the top of the hair-cutting world, and finally earn the respect of their father Biff Buzzington Sr. Can the Snips keep the citizens of Scissor City safe from the hijinks of the Bad Buzz Boyz and still give amazing hairdos?
This easy-to-read graphic novel series will be perfect for kids 7-10, those who are reluctant readers or newly independent readers, as well as kids who just like jokes, puns, and outrageous humor.
And don't miss the next book in the Snips series: Enter the Wigmaster!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Raúl the Third (the World of ¡Vamos! series) delights in this amusing graphic novel series opener starring hair-themed superheroes. Scissors City, famous for its population of citizens with stylish coifs, is home to a team of cosmetic styling "hairtastrophe" fighters known as the Snips: Casco the scientist, Patty the inventor, Letty the batonist, Nubes the barber, and Flealix the talking dog. Chaos ensues when the luchador-themed duo the Bad Buzz Boyz—comprising brothers Boffo and Biffo, grandsons of the inventor of the buzz cut—set out to restore their family's honor by breaking the Snips' record for most haircuts given in a day. The siblings unleash a giant monster called the Unruly Hairthing upon the city as a distraction while they forcefully give citizens awful haircuts, prompting the Snips to rush into action to save the city from disaster—and a collective bad hair day. The creator's cartoonish illustrations, evocative of children's animation, depict a madcap ensemble of characters. Humorous puns, consistent worldbuilding, and quirky conflicts make this a rollicking crime-fighting adventure. The Bad Buzz Boyz cue as white, the Snips are intersectionally diverse, and background characters are depicted with varying skin tones. Ages 7–10.
