Welcome to the world of Aldo Zelnick

Who’s that kid with the squiggly yellow hair and the pint-sized paunch?
It’s Aldo Zelnick—star of an award-winning new comic novel series for kids 7-13.

Go ahead—make my day. By getting me a slushie.

Don't tell my mom, but I haven't showered for 5 days.

You're not gonna make me go OUTSIDE and get FRESH AIR, are you?

Pssst...Goosy. I need another sketchbook.

Hey Mr. Mot. Quit hogging the audio dictionary.

If you're happy and you know it, you must be playing video games.

My birthday's February 14th. In case you're planning your gift-buying.

If you see Jack, tell him he rocks. (Get it?)

Aw c'mon Max. Eat my brussels sprouts! That's what dogs are for!

Fans get sneak preview chapters. And other cool stuff.

Diaries are for wimps. Sketchbooks are so much more masculine.

New on the Aldo Zelnick YouTube Channel:

Surf over to YouTube and watch as Kendra uses crayons to color the cover drawing for Dumbstruck! She uses a standard set of Crayola crayons (circa 1988...with quite a few missing) and layers her strokes in many different directions to achieve this look.

Look familiar? Our covers are often inspired by famous works of art. Ms. Munroe, the pretty new art teacher, helped us spoof Warhol's Marilyn screen prints.
