Illustrated by
Josh Holinaty.
Before he starts at a new school, Ira attempts to make friends; instead he makes a fool of himself via relatable awkwardness and also in sillier ways, such as talking to a sandwich. But never underestimate the power of bonding over embarrassment. Speech bubbles, a wacky human-and-animal cast, and other cartoonish elements underscore the genuinely funny situations.
