An orc in the classroom

Aurora’s new classmate is an orc—or so she believes, given his green skin, club, and enthusiasm for slaying elves. Assigned to show him the ways of human life, she soon finds that their lessons run in both directions. The graphic novel pairs classroom encounters with travel into the orc’s world, where Aurora’s understanding of him and her own family begins to shift. Its fantasy setup brings questions of custom, difference, and family into a children’s adventure.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young readers interested in fantasy graphic novels and school-based adventures.
  • Readers who enjoy stories about unfamiliar customs, cross-cultural encounters, and family discovery.

Book overview

From comics legend Lewis Trondheim comes a quirky and hilarious graphic novel full of magic and mayhem!

There's something strange about the new kid in class. Maybe it's because he's from a faraway country where they practice different customs. Or maybe it's because his skin is green, he carries a club, and his favorite pastime is slaying elves.

Her teacher and classmates are unfazed, but to Aurora, it's obvious--the new kid is an orc! And as his unofficial chaperone, Aurora must teach him about human life and curb his outrageously orc-like behavior. But as she travels with him and sees more of his world, it becomes clear she also has much to learn, not just about him but her own family.
