In "Give Us a Brake," Archie faces a heartfelt challenge when he meets Milly, his new neighbor who lost her sight in a car accident. When Veronica unintentionally hurts Milly’s feelings at the Chok'lit Shop, Archie and Veronica team up with Mr. Lodge—using his connections—to help Milly regain her eyesight. A touching story of empathy and community, illustrated with warmth and care by Samm Schwartz, with a cover by Bob Montana that captures the moment’s quiet tension.
