Book Synopsis

Narwhal and Jelly meets The Amazing World of Gumball in this first book in a delightful graphic novel chapter book series about Cloud Puppy--part puppy, part cloud, and all adorable--and her forays into friendship, adventure, and all things geeky!

Meet Cloud Puppy! Her hobbies include making rainbows, super sniffing, and, of course, reading the Pretty Princess Warrior Dragonetta series with her best friend, Berry Rose. After Cloud Puppy finds out that her favorite author will be a guest at the local comic book convention, she and Berry Rose decide to attend in homemade costumes.

But when they both insist on dressing up as the same character, Cloud Puppy and Berry Rose have their first fight ever! Now, they're going to the convention separately. Will these feuding friends be able to make amends?

Review Quotes

"Ebullient, utterly adorable cartoons convey the particulars of con prep and the rhythms and rules of the event itself. The book reads like nothing less than an invitation to fandom more broadly: Come join us--we're wild, wacky, and exhaustively creative over here!...A joyful celebration of fandom and friendship for curious young readers."--Kirkus Reviews "3/15/24"

"Miller delivers a bright dose of sunshine wrapped in a wondrously silly package in this meta graphic novel series opener...The creator eschews cutesy commonplace kitsch via vibrant and irreverent illustrations, and Cloud Puppy's shameless enthusiasm for her own geekiness and her determination to venture out into the bustling world of comics and conventions is refreshing and contagiously positive."--Publishers Weekly "2/12/24"

"The inventive style of the comic demonstrates exactly what the artist is telling young readers about making comics: the limits reside solely in your imagination."--Booklist "5/15/24"
