<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Bad For You presents facts, figures and more to debunk myths about things throughout history, such as comic books, video games, and texting, that have been deemed to cause bad behavior and psychological damage in children.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>SHOULD U.S. COMICS BE BANNED? <p/>SATANIC HARRY POTTER BOOKS BURNT <p/>PLAYGROUNDS POSE THREAT TO CHILDREN <p/>TEXT-MAD YOUTH LOSING WRITING ABILITIES <p/>CHILD SUSPENDED FOR BRANDISHING CHICKEN <p/>SOCIAL WEBSITES HARM CHILDREN'S BRAINS <p/>STUDENT ARRESTED FOR PASSING GAS AT SCHOOL <p/>These are all real headlines screaming about the terrible stuff that's out there . . . stuff that's supposed to be BAD FOR YOU. But, honestly--is it?! <p/><i>Bad for You</i> asks this question and many more--and not just about the things that modern parents fear like violent video games, social media, and dirty hands. Stuff in this book goes back centuries--all the way to Plato (yeah, that one) and his worries over the new technology of his time: the written word! Kevin C. Pyle and Scott Cunningham cleverly expose the long-standing CAMPAIGN AGAINST FUN for what it really is: a bunch of anxious adults grasping at straws, ignoring scientific data, and blindly yearning for the good old days that never were. <i>Bad for You</i> presents the facts, figures, and a whole lot more--in eye-grabbing graphics--to debunk these myths and give kids the power to prove there's nothing wrong with having fun . . . or with being young.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"The writers clearly fall on the side of fun and make little effort to present convincing counter arguments." --<i>Booklist</i> <p/>"This book is funny, mind-boggling, entertaining, and completely educational. Make sure every teen gets a copy." --<i>School Library Journal</i> <p/>"A survey of wet-blanketry through the ages." --<i>Kirkus Reviews</i> <p/>"With this graphic novel, Kevin Pyle has eloquently mapped out the line between youth and adulthood. He captures pivotal moments of transformation through pitch-perfect dialogue and surprising graphic inventions. <i>Blindspot</i> is everything that is great and unique about this art form." --<i>Peter Kuper, author/artist of Sticks and Stones on Blindspot</i> <p/>"This perfectly captures a shining moment of boyhood." --<i>Booklist on Blindspot</i> <p/>"Pyle uses the graphic novel format to powerful effect. . . .This is a very smart and humane graphic novel that . . . resonates with a broad emotional range." --<i>Publishers Weekly on Blindspot</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Kevin C. Pyle</b> is the author and illustrator of numerous graphic novels and docu-comics, the most recent of which is <i>Take What You Can Carry</i>.
