Pebble and Wren Summary

Pebble and Wren by Chris Hallbeck

A little girl and her live-in monster learn about what makes them different-and what unites them. This graphic novel is a silly, sweet, and sometimes gross tribute to friendship, and to the wacky world we live in.

Based on his webcomic of the same name, Pebble and Wren follows human girl Wren and her live-in monster, Pebble, as she teaches them all about how the human world works-from why the moon changes shape to why we don't eat candy wrappers-while trying to unlock special abilities without which Pebble will have to return to the monster forest.

A silly, sweet, and sometimes gross tribute to friendship for fans of Calvin & Hobbes and Catwad.

Pebble and Wren Reviews

A perfect graphic novel: sweet and hilarious with poignant moments. - - Zach Weinersmith, creator of Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal Chris is one of the funnies comic writers out there . . . when you combine his seemingly endless jokes with the sweetness of Pebble and Wren, the result is a complete delight. - - James Stewart, creator of Dinos and Comics A delightfully imaginative and silly adventure. - - Nathan Pyle, creator of Strange Planet Chris Hallbeck brings an indelible charm to everything he does and Pebble & Wren is no exception. It's surprisingly wholesome for a story about a horned, shape-shifting monster living under a kid's bed. Chris even manages to sneak in little learning moments without taking anything away from the fun (I learned why we feel dizzy after spinning around!). - - J. L. Westover, creator of Mr. Lovenstein Pebble and Wren is unique, cute, and really fun. My kids are going to love this! - - Nick Seluk, creator of The Awkward Yeti Hallbeck's tidy narrative emerges from a format largely consisting of four easy-to-follow frames per page. The nine chapters feel episodic but are winningly tied together by the [Pebble and Wren's] developing understanding of each other, achieved through ordinary life and a few extraordinary moments [that] feel both magical and natural . . . Endearing and slightly offbeat. - Kirkus Reviews Quirky and charming, this graphic novel with themes of friendship and being one's self will find a home in many collections. - School Library Journal
