![]() Knight’s zippy b&w spot illustrations play up the story’s gross-out humor-as in a scene of laser-beam-wielding dolphins decapitating radioactive kangaroos during Jake’s book report about an imaginary book-and a supporting cast of quirky art-school types rounds out this offbeat novel, first in a planned series. Allen, Jake pushes the definition of artistic in order to “throw everybody off the scent of my fakeness,” finding freedom (and a cover) in intentionally bizarre behavior such as trash sculpting or creating bands that don’t play music. Under the very loose tutelage of free-spirited Mr. Jake’s gifted older sister, Lisa, thrives at the academy, where students are encouraged to get creative through assignments like chewing a piece of gum for six hours, then writing a play about it.
