Introducing the ChapGraph™: A Book You’ll Flip For—Literally!
Meet Nate Kid and the Flip Side, a brain-boosting, laugh-out-loud adventure series that flips the script on what a book can be! Half chapter book, half upside-down graphic novel, this new interactive hybrid is designed to engage even the most reluctant readers with a revolutionary format called the ChapGraph™.

When Nathaniel Ulrich Kid—a perfectly normal (and moderately lactose-intolerant) kid—gets too anxious, nervous or overwhelmed, he flips into a parallel universe called the Flip Side where hilariously gross surprises and silly experiments await. (In the Flip Side, kids get to turn the book upside down and flip the pages backwards to continue reading!) With his half-animal, half-plant sidekick and a secret code on his swim trunks, Nate must find his way back to the real world—while readers rotate, decode, and laugh their way through every twist and turn.

Packed with:
✅ Age-appropriate bodily function jokes (yes, they’re funny AND endorphin and brain-stimulating!)
✅ Adaptive English/Spanish summary text on each page
✅ ‘90s hip-hop references for grown-ups leaving kids wondering what's so funny
✅ Quizzes, scavenger hunts, and interactive clues
✅ A secret online portal to unlock the full-color graphic novel world in the digital realm
✅ Peppered with art from more than real 40 kids credited as Contributing Illustrators
(To have your kid's art appear in a future book apply here: https://bit.ly/CreativeKidsClub)

This is more than a book—it’s a whole-body, whole-brain joy ride. Perfect for elementary and middle schoolers (and nostalgic parents too), Nate Kid and the Flip Side will leave you flipping, laughing, and reading for the fun of it.
