APPEALS TO: SOME
Tubby is a soft, nugget shaped creature who lives on the planet Nug. He has great friends and wonderful parents. It is almost time for him to participate in the Dunking Ceremony where he will be dipped in gold. After he becomes golden, he has to act more like an adult. He can only eat gold and can't have fun like he used to. Is Tubby ready to be golden?
The Adventures of Tubby Nugget will appeal to students who enjoy graphic novels that are a little silly and not full of intense content. I would compare it to the Hilo series. I think that students will like reading about Tubby's internal struggle to grow up.
