Even reluctant young readers will find it hard to resist Johnny Boo Zooms to the Moon!, a colorful new graphic novel from Burlington cartoonist and dad James Kochalka. This sixth installment in Kochalka’s Johnny Boo series follows the young ghost as he attempts to skateboard to the moon, pulled by his pet ghost, Squiggle. Kochalka, Vermont’s first cartoonist laureate, is better known for his adult-themed comics, one of which has a name too racy to publish here. The continuing adventures of Johnny Boo prove that Kochalka’s an all-ages artist.
