Tomo Saves the Day
Ricky’s dream is to develop his talent as a comic book cartoonist, but his mother wants hiim to go to a science school. Madeline Slovenz weaves a fast-moving, heart-warming yarn as Ricky encounters obstacle after obstacle, just like his superheroes. You have to read the end to find out who Tomo is!
Being a kid is hard!
Madeline Slovenz’s new story “Tomo Saves the Day” captures the pain and struggle of being a middle schooler. Tomo knows his passion for becoming an artist is against his mother’s wishes, but he can’t help it. He loves to draw. Slovenz enlightens her readers by showing what a little stick-to-itiveness and ingenuity can do when you want something bad enough. Dreams don’t always come true, but they never happen if you don’t try. As the mother of three, I recommend Slovenz’s story to any middle schooler who thinks he or she can’t. Because you can.
