A hilarious, anarchic new graphic novel series that is guaranteed to have you laughing out loud, from a comics and illustration powerhouse!

\"From the mega-talented Dan Santat comes a hilarious and beautifully illustrated tale of friendship, adventure and mystery. Sashimi is FRESH!!!\" - Dav Pilkey, creator of Dog Man

He's funny. He's (too) friendly. He's . . . a fishboy named SASHIMI!

In the town of Barnacle Bay, a creature lurks. He’s come from the ocean, in search of others like him. He's part fish. Maybe part boy...? Whatever he is, he's 100% awesome - and looking for somewhere to fit in.

And what better way to do that than enrol at a local elementary school?! Now he just has to pretend NOT to be a fish out of water . . .

But when Sashimi finds out the whole town is on the hunt for the Beast of Barnacle Bay (a creature who, to be honest, sounds a lot like Sashimi . . .) chaos ensues. Can Sashimi find a way to stay afloat - or is he sunk for good . . . ?

Perfect for fans of Bad Guys, Donut Squad, and InvestiGators!

Praise for A Fishboy Named . . . Sashimi

Slapstick adventure, middle school hijinks, and churlish humor drip from this literal fish-out-of-water tale by Santat (Thick as Thieves).... [A] laugh-out-loud graphic novel series opener, which features a steady stream of jokes and bitingly funny asides

Publishers Weekly

Introducing a hero who’s both relatable and ridiculous, this first in a new series promises more compelling adventures ahead... Silly yet sincere, a satisfying start to a serial story of self-discovery.

Kirkus

Your kids? They will love it. Adults everywhere? They’ll steal it when their kids are asleep to read it themselves. People, it is just. That. Good.
