Bubble-Gum Boy starts the year at his new school and just like the rest of us, he is scared. What will his new schoolmates think of him? Will they reject him because he is a bubble-gum head? He looks at the people around him: Ernest, Onion, and Mandarin are amazing, they know how to do all sorts of things. What can he do? He's just bubble-gum. So he decides he can't be bothered – fitting in is stupid – being different is much better! After her illustrations for the bestseller The Book of the Future and her personal best Picnic, María Ramos redirects her talents to a a new series of illustrated stories about a bubble-gum boy and his fantastic friends.
