(3) 1-3 Color by Jose Garibaldi. In Pilkey's latest cartoon-style graphic novel for young and reluctant readers, George and Harold turn to William Golding's Lord of the Flies in a frenetic existential exploration of goodness. Delving into his past, Petey (Dog Man's feline nemesis) reveals the root of his evil: childhood betrayal; meanwhile, clone Li'l Petey balances the nonstop action with innocent wisdom, probing questions (the constant why?), and silly-terrible knock-knock jokes.
