The shape of it
The shape of this universe.
Nina Peanut is Sarah Bowie's riotously funny, full-colour comic-diary collection about a comics-mad girl chasing online fame from her home town of Dozyville. Nina makes very serious, very amazing videos that almost nobody watches, dreams of out-vlogging her class nemesis Megan, and blunders through school captaincy races, ghost hunts, disastrous holidays and school-play showdowns with her best friend Brian and her stinky cat Les at her side. Bowie tells it all in a fast, doodle-packed diary-and-comic style, with witty annotations and gorgeous illustration on every page. Underneath the jokes are warm, sharp ideas about friendship, popularity, self-expression and the fakery of life online — a natural next step for readers who have devoured Wimpy Kid and Dork Diaries.
Sarah Bowie's laugh-out-loud full-colour comic-diary collection about a fame-hungry, comics-mad girl — perfect for fans of Wimpy Kid and Dork Diaries.
