Game for Adventure series.
Illustrated by
Flávio B. Silva.
The third wordless graphic novel in a series about everyday children's games turned fantastical follows Chavo, who's last to be chosen for capture the flag and is ignored by all the players. The moonlit park morphs into an alien landscape split by team colors, and Chavo sneaks under the radar to victory. Bright, high-contrast colors and a fast pace should engage early and reluctant readers.
