Review

Illustrations are digital. Beanboy is Tuck's superhero comic book name for himself. He has won a drawing contest, but he lives in a world where sports are what's "really important". He makes a series of posters sporting BeanBoy adventures for school. Only to have found out that the bulletin board used by the Art Club has been given away to a sports club by the principal. Now he is asking for a pep rally for the Art Club, so they can get more members. This is how the dodge ball tournament get started. Each chapter has Beanboy working on his conflict of the chapter. It's a good way to teach conflicts because it has the visuals to go with the text.

Overall Book Score: good
