By Broach, Elise & Lilly, Nate

Lock the doors! Pack your bags! Run for your life! Sneaky Cousin John only acts like a bully when adults aren't around, so Mom doesn't know it's a battle of wills every visit.

Enriched by the sly details in the comic-book-style illustrations, this mischievous story recognizes that sometimes a kid has to fend for himself. It's an amusing twist on the tale of David vs. Goliath—sure to empower the little guy!
