7 Good Reasons Not to Grow Up

In 2020, Scholastic launched this single-issue comic that humorously flips the script on coming-of-age stories, presenting a kid's manifesto for staying young. Written and illustrated by a team that captures the giddy, mischievous energy of middle-grade readers, it offers a fast-paced, cartoonish romp through the absurd logic of avoiding responsibility. While brief, it stands as a playful, self-contained argument for the joy of childhood, making it a quick, memorable read for anyone who's ever wished recess would never end.
