Chip Stone is just your average elementary school kid, until he's secretly imbued with strange geological powers. Now, when he's feeling stressed out, his head turns into a gigantic rock! His best friend thinks it's great, but Chip's got a whole new world of problems to deal with - bullies, budding love, a creepy and crazy scientist who is creating all of these strange super heroes for who only knows what reasons, and lots of bad puns. What's a kid to do?

I'm a big fan of Stone Arch Press books but have to say I finally found one that I didn't like. Chip, as geeky as a geek can get, is turned into Rockhead, a supposed superhero.

Colorful, adventurous, and fun, but I wasn't crazy about it. I didn't really care for the particular style of the stylized artwork and found the story sketchy, characters flat, and jokes groaners.

Boys will love this graphic novel! Cute story, enjoyable tale. Looking forward to the next installment.
I am interested enough to want to read the next book. Hopefully it will be a bit better.
funny book, read in 15 minutes
Full of fantastically silly puns, an evil general and mutant rejects. Fun!
