Barry Loser: Total Winner

Join Barry as he embarks on everyday adventures with a surreal twist in this hilarious graphic novel from Jim Smith. There are five stand-alone stories, in each of which Barry must deal with a different challenge: feeling jealous of a joint birthday party; a missing nose; a yawning epidemic; avoodoomystery; and a gaming ban. Barry faces these events head on with a dash of creativity and the support of his best friends –though his tendency for drama and chaos ensures there’s plenty of fun along the way! 

The short story format is great for readers who want a light-hearted read they can dip in and out of. The madcap stories and the distinctive comic-book style illustrations will appeal to readers of Action Dude, Bunny vs Monkey, and Freddy vs School. For any budding illustrators, there are also three ‘how to draw’ spreads at the back of the book.
