The Dumbest Idea Ever!

Jimmy Gownley spins a heartfelt, slice-of-life tale for Scholastic in The Dumbest Idea Ever!, a single-issue graphic novel that launched in 2014 and remains a standalone story. It captures the awkward, humorous reality of adolescence, grounded in the creator's own middle-school experiences. Gownley's warm, expressive art and pitch-perfect dialogue make this a relatable and quietly resonant read for any young reader navigating the bumpy road to growing up.
