Magic Pickle

by Scott Morse

The Magic Pickle is a full color graphic novel. It has lots of intended puns in bold font. Boys and girls will enjoy meeting a preteen girl named Jo Jo Wigman. She wants to share a secret with readers that a super powered pickle lives under her bedroom floor! The pickle is known as Weapon Kosher and is summoned from his long awaited "cryogenic slumber" to locate and convict the brotherhood of evil produce, none other than Phantom Carrot, Chili Chili Bang Bang, Peashooter, and Squish Squash. Weapon Kosher is unexpectedly taken off guard by the Romaine Gladiator and has the fight of his life. However, with help from an unlikely source, Weapon Kosher finds a friend and partner in Jo Jo. Together they fight against crime in a battle for justice that is taken inside and outside of school.
