Praise for Fox River Comics Camp

"Fox River Comics Camp is a great book for kids who want to learn to make comics! And we know, because we WERE those kids!"
Raina Telgemeier and Scott McCloud, New York Times Bestselling creators of The Cartoonists Club

"Clever, creative, and bursting with cute characters, Fox River Comics Camp is an engaging entryway into the world of making comics. Easily accessible to those brand-new to the art form, and full of helpful tips for those already on their path to telling stories with sequential art, Fox River Comics Camp is a welcome addition to any kid's bookshelf!"
John Patrick Green, creator of Investigators

"Cathy G. Johnson's Fox River Comics Camp showcases their exceptional cartooning skills and their deep dedication to teaching the craft. This book encourages and inspires cartoonists of all ages."
Joel Christian Gill, creator of Fights: One Boy’s Triumph Over Violence

The joy of creating comics is reflected in the characters' expressive faces as well as their charmingly diverse final products, which may well inspire readers to invent stories of their own. Succeeds as a gently aspirational tale and how-to for budding artists.
Kirkus Reviews
