An Unlikely Pair

2024

Based on the beloved comic strip “Bear with Me” by Bob Scott, this lighthearted odd couple middle grade graphic novel is about a girl and her very best an 800-pound scaredy-bear! When Bear wanders into eleven-year-old Molly’s life, she knows she’s just met her new bestie. Loyal, sweet, inquisitive—and terrified of almost everything—Bear makes a great new friend. And he’s not scary at all! But try telling that to the rest of the world. Molly eventually convinces her mom and dad to let Bear stay with them, but showing everyone else that Bear isn’t dangerous (not to mention assuring Bear that he isn’t in constant danger!) is going to take some work. Lucky for Bear, Molly doesn’t give up easily.

Campers Beware

2025

Molly and Bear go on a family camping trip in this second book in the Molly and the Bear middle grade graphic novel series based on the beloved comic strip “Bear with Me” by Bob Scott. Molly and her family are excited about their annual summer camping trip. Well, except Molly’s dad, who didn’t want Bear to come. Molly would have thought her 800-pound bestie would be right at home in the woods, but the scaredy bear is terrified of campfires, rafting, spooky sounds that come from the woods at night, and most of all, other bears. Still, Molly, is determined to make sure this trip brings her dad and Bear closer together. She hatches a series of plans to make her dad see how wonderful Bear truly is. But when Bear accidentally attracts other (wild) bears to the family’s cabin, that may be a bigger disaster than even Molly can fix.
