Author Biography Fred Van Lente is the New York Times bestselling author of comic books like Cowboys & Aliens and Marvel Zombies. He lives in Brooklyn, like every other writer on the planet (by law), with his wife, Crystal, and some mostly ungrateful cats. His previous funny nonfiction comics with Ryan were Action Philosophers! (named a YALSA Great Graphic Novels for Teens by the American Library Association) and The Comic Book History of Comics (which Freds mom really likes). He does not own a time machine but will be the first on line to buy one as soon as someone gets around to inventing them. Full-time award-winning cartoonist and part-time scout leader Ryan Dunlavey spends every day and most nights drawing cool and fun stuff for the worlds most charming and attractive art directors. Hes also the artist of the graphic novels Action Philosophers!, The Comic Book History of Comics (both with Fred Van Lente), Dirt Candy: A Cookbook (with chef Amanda Cohen), and the comic strip Lil Classix (with Grady Hendrix). On the rare occasions when hes not in his 100 percent cat-free home studio (allergies), he can be spotted with his wife, Liza, as they wrangle their two children on adventures in and around New York City. Review … "Sheer joy. Van Lente and Dunlavey launch a new middle-grade series featuring, as the cover proclaims, Real history! Fake jokes! The blurb, however, does no justice to either the density of historical facts or the breathless pace of the humor."--Booklist (starred review) Details ISBN0062891170 Author Ryan Dunlavey Pages 128 Series Action Presidents Year 2020 ISBN-10 0062891170 ISBN-13 9780062891174 Publication Date 2020-07-09 Audience Age 8-12 Illustrator Ryan Dunlavey Format Paperback Place of Publication New York Country of Publication United States Language English Series Number 01 DEWEY 973.41092 UK Release Date 2020-07-09 US Release Date 2020-07-09 Publisher HarperCollins Publishers Inc Alternative 9780062891181 Audience Children / Juvenile Imprint HarperCollins AU Release Date 2020-12-01 NZ Release Date 2020-12-01 Imprint US HarperAlley Publisher US HarperCollins We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
