Eraser helps Pencil weather some stormy feelings in the fourth book in this hilarious graphic novel series perfect for fans of Pizza & Taco.
It’s summertime, and both Pencil and Eraser are looking forward to a break from school! With their human, Stella, off at camp, Pencil has a full day planned doing all of the same outdoor camp activities. Eraser, on the other hand, is hoping to finally get a chance to relax.
When a storm suddely rolls in and washes away all hope for fun in the sun, it seems like Eraser just might get his wish. But this rainy day has given Pencil a serious case of the blues. And if there’s one thing that takes priority over a nap, it’s your besties, so Eraser realizes there’s only one way to fix her cloudy mood. He’ll have to get *shudder* creative. Enter Camp Counselor Eraser! Armed with a whistle and plans for an epic scavenger hunt through the house, Eraser is determined to lift Pencil’s spirits...even if it kills him.
