Vacation plans take unexpected turns

Nick, Sy, and Violet each begin break with a plan: a gaming milestone, a music collaboration, or Comic Design Camp. Instead, family obligations and crossed-up activities send them into unfamiliar situations.

Presented as a humorous graphic novel, it centers on friendship and the gap between expectations and what actually happens when plans change.

Book overview

Nick, Sy, and Violet have the perfect vacation planned, but nothing is going according to plan. Now, they'll have to think fast, get creative, and make a splash in ways they never expected! A fun-filled graphic novel for fans of Cat Kid Comic Club, Hilo, and InvestiGators!

Sy's finally going to prove himself as a pro gamer--if only his dad didn't insist on a father-son fishing excursion instead.

Nick is set to collaborate with his musical hero, DJ French Toast--but their jam session is far from smooth.

And Violet? She signed up for Comic Design Camp . . . so why is she suddenly the star of the Drama Camp play?

Despite the obstacles, this trio isn't backing down. Together, they're ready to take on every obstacle, sink or swim. After all, school break has only just begun--and it's time to make a splash!

Full of laugh-out-loud moments, big-hearted fun, and cartoonist Tate Godwin's signature style, this graphic novel proves that no mission is impossible when you've got your friends by your side. Perfect for spring break, summer, or any time!

"Charming and colorful and cleverly told. Operation Cover-Up is full of humor and characters that any kid can relate to!" -- John Patrick Green, New York Times bestselling author of the InvestiGATORS series, for Operation: Cover-Up

"Featuring a lively, nonstop narrative arc and precise pastel cartoon art, this humorous graphic novel conveys complex truths about loyalty, identity, and honesty. Godwin employs a split screen-style format early on as Sy and Nick embark on parallel storylines that eventually converge--an inspired way to introduce the protagonists and to help readers realize that everyone, no matter how outwardly confident, feels self-doubt and uncertainty. Hilarious, perceptive, and thoughtful--just like its protagonists." - Kirkus Reviews, STARRED review, for Operation: Cover-Up

"The kids' world bursts with vibrant color that brings the characters and their surroundings to life with dynamic, youthful exuberance. Playful banter and touching moments of self-discovery showcase the challenges of navigating adolescence--and the importance of having a friend to do it with." - Publisher's Weekly, STARRED review, for Operation: Cover-Up
