Watch out, middle school! In her second foray out of graphic novels and into middle grade, Babymouse has a smartphone, and she's not afraid to use it. . . .

Ping! Ping! The sound of texting is in the air. Everyone at middle school has a cell phone. Babymouse just has to get one, too.

But having a phone is a lot of work! Building up a following on SoFamous, learning text lingo, keeping up with all the important koala videos . . . Babymouse is ready to tear her whiskers out. Why does it suddenly feel like she has no friends? Somehow, Babymouse needs to figure out how to stop worrying and love her smartphone . . . if Locker doesn't eat it first.

Highly illustrated with black-and-white art throughout and a dozen or so comic pages, this is the perfect showcase for bestselling authors Jennifer L. Holm and Matthew Holm's signature humor. Middle school may never be the same!
           
"Engaging and contemporary, the Holms' second volume is able to touch upon such important issues as online stranger danger and smartphone burnout without resorting to preachiness. #readthisnow" —Kirkus Review, starred review

Praise for Lights, Camera, Middle School!:
"A smooth transition into a fresh format that should both resonate with existing fans and entice new ones." —Kirkus Reviews
"Babymouse’s bravado and wild romps of imagination (captured in boisterous comics sequences) keep the spotlight directly on her."—Publishers Weekly
"You can practically hear legions of delighted fans chorus along as [Babymouse] delivers her signature response: 'Typical!'" —Booklist

Praise for Babymouse:
"Move over, Superman, here comes Babymouse!" —Chicago Sun-Times
"Nobody puts Babymouse in the corner." —Horn Book Magazine, Starred review
