Description

By (author) Lyall Casey; Illustrated by Faber, Sara

The League of Littles defends youngest siblings around the globe. But are three eager trainees ready for their first mission—finding a missing pet? A hilarious, action-packed young middle grade graphic novel about friendship, school, and siblings for fans of the Bad Guys and Babymouse.

From an ordinary school, in an ordinary town, a distress signal is sent. Help me, League of Littles, you’re my only hope!

The League of Littles is an international organization that protects and supports the needs of youngest siblings—and trainees Lexi, Mo, and Eli are finally ready for their first mission. Another student at their elementary school has lost her big sister’s hamster, Chester, after she borrowed him for show and tell without permission. Gabi needs the L.O.L.’s help to find Chester before the Band of Bigs (protecting and supporting the needs of—you guessed it—oldest siblings) find out that Chester is missing.

This hilarious young middle grade graphic novel combines humor, action, friendship, school, pets—and of course, sibling relationships. It is perfect for newly independent readers and fans of Babymouse, Lunch Lady, and the Bad Guys.
