Tales of a seventh-grade lizard boy / Jonathan Hill ; color by Nyssa Oru.

Hill, Jonathan (Comic book artist), (author,, artist.). Oru, Nyssa, (colorist.).

Summary:

"Tommy isn't an ordinary seventh grader. He and his family are refugees from the center of the earth, lizard people disguised as humans to blend in on the surface. Fittin in at middle school is tough, even if you don't prefer bugs for lunch. At the outcast table, Tommy finds his first human friends: Dung Tran, whose scientist parents have come from Vietnam to investigate the town's mysterious sinkholes, and Scarlett Roberts, the quirky daughter of the new school janitor. The three become inseparable until Tommy, homesick and insecure, uses his powers of disguise in a way that undermines his new friends. To make things right, he will have to risk showing his true face."-- Front jacket flap.
