The Hilarious Trials of Trying to Be Good: The Bad Guys Review

The Bad Guys by Aaron Blabey

Review: From the author of Pig the Pug comes this hillarious tale about former bad guys just trying to turn good. Ya'll, we absolutely love these books! The movies were fantastic (and the new show is so funny!) we thought we'd probably like the graphic novels that inspired them, and boy were we right! There are twenty books in this series but the author is re-releasing them in full color editions that we are slowly but surely collecting! The artwork is fantastic, the stories are short and hilarious, and best of all, there's not been any concerning content we felt would keep us from recommending the series to you!

Disclaimer: We have read 2 books in this series so far and will update this page for possible concerning content, etc. as we finish each book. (That way it's all in one place instead of jumping around to find each individual post).

If you like...

• The movies (they are very similar but different enough not to be a retelling or feel like retreading old ground).

• Middle Grade Graphic Novels

• Humor

• Bad guys trying to do the right thing

• Rooting for the underdogs

• Talking animal characters
