Fanboy has never had it good, but lately his sophomore year is turning out to be its own special hell. The bullies have made him their favourite target., his best (and only) friend seems headed for the dark side (sports and popularity), and his pregnant mother and the step-fascist are eagerly awaiting the birth of the alien life form known as Fanboy's new little brother or sister. Fanboy, though, has a secret: a graphic novel he's been working on without telling anyone, a graphic novel that he is convinced will lead to publication, fame, and--most important of all--a way out of the crappy little town he lives in and away from all the people who make it hell for him. When fanboy meets Kyra, a.k.a. Goth Girl, he finds an outrageous, cynical girl who shares his love of comics as well as his hatred for jocks and bullies. Fanboy can't resist someone who actually seems to understand him, and soon he finds himself willing to heed her advice--to ignore or crush anyone who stand in his way. But Kyra has secrets, too. And they could lead Fanboy to his dreams...or down a path into his own darkness. 719301 book 6 9 2006 The Astonishing Adventures of Fanboy and Goth Girl total:953|5:186|4:367|3:269|2:109|1:22| 953 3445 1475 234 4 7 false false Sat Feb 23 18:04:17 -0800 2008 Sat Mar 01 15:49:20 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 3 false false Mon Aug 31 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 31 21:16:17 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 31 22:11:37 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 1 false false Wed Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Oct 14 22:16:01 -0700 2008 Tue Oct 14 22:52:14 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 2 false true Tue Aug 26 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Aug 26 10:46:15 -0700 2008 Tue Aug 26 22:31:04 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Tue Feb 17 16:35:30 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 17 16:35:30 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Fri Oct 02 10:39:17 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 02 10:41:05 -0700 2009
