Description: "Do you ever wonder what your friends, enemies, brothers, sisters, and children are doing in the hours when you're not there? This kooky 24-hour tour of a day in the life of 23 different children will reveal answers you'd never expect"--

Brief description: Roz Chast is a staff cartoonist for The New Yorker and is the illustrator of Steve Martin's popular children's book The Alphabet from A to Y with Bonus Letter Z. She lives in Connecticut with her husband and two children. She is also the author and illustrator of Too Busy Marco, Marco Goes to School, and Around the Clock.

Review Quotes: "There are only so many hours in a day, but Chast (Marco Goes to School) rules them all as she checks in on 23 geeky kids who each put a highly idiosyncratic stamp on a single, 60-minute interval.... As in Chast's brilliant work for the New Yorker, anxiety and happiness are never far from one another in these pages."-- "Publishers Weekly, October 2014"
