My 8-Year-Old Self and the Sophomore Slump

Book #2 in Mike Ivy's "My 8-Year-Old Self " Trilogy

WHEN INSPIRATION DISAPPEARS...

Join author and illustrator Mike Ivy as he takes a journey with My 8-Year-Old Self through new, geeky adventures filled with artistic meltdowns. After completing the first epic issue of his children's book, Space Dog, my 8-year-old self is eager to create something even bigger and better. There's just one problem:

HE CAN'T.

None of my 8-year-old self's ideas feel good enough. None of his drawings come out right. Is this the end of his comic book career before it even begins? Through the geeky adventures of battling the minions of the evil Megalomaniac, executing top-secret Halloween candy operations, and taking strategic cookie breaks, Mike Ivy must face his greatest enemy yet:

The dreaded SOPHOMORE SLUMP.

But there is that upcoming field trip to the art museum... A humorous and heartfelt illustrated adventure in this children's book explores creativity, self-doubt, and the power of not giving up. It's perfect for young creators, those on geeky adventures, and anyone who has ever stared at a blank page and thought of my 8 year old self.
