Jacky Ha-Ha: A Graphic Novel

Jacky Ha-Ha: A Graphic Novel is a hilarious, heartwarming story from the world's #1 bestselling author James Patterson, co-written with Chris Grabenstein and adapted by Adam Rau with illustrations by Betty Tang. Published by JIMMY Patterson Books (an imprint of Little, Brown/Hachette), this 240-page trade paperback graphic novel brings the beloved Jacky Hart character to life in a bright, fast-paced illustrated format ideal for middle-grade readers.

Jacky Ha-Ha can't resist cracking a joke in nearly every situation—even when it's a bad idea. Her humor is her armor, helping her avoid thinking about the harder things in her life: her mom deployed overseas in a dangerous war, and a dad who's hardly ever home. But one starlit night, Jacky makes a promise to keep her family together, even if it means giving up the one thing that makes her truly happy.

The book is a #1 New York Times Bestseller, a Parents' Choice Award Winner, and a National Parenting Products Award Winner. It has received praise from Kirkus Reviews, School Library Journal, Publishers Weekly, and Booklist. The graphic novel format features black-and-white cartoon-style artwork that adds humor and energy to Jacky's story, making it accessible and engaging for reluctant and enthusiastic readers alike.
