Publisher Description:

Life may have its own special plans for you.

A well-meaning friend submits Iggy's ink art to a big contest. A quiet inkapus, Iggy finds himself suddenly thrown into the spotlight and totally unprepared--and it only gets more embarrassing from there. Will he ever have a quiet life again?

Iggy has to decide between living a life that is comfortable, or embracing a future that is bigger, but a little scarier.

For parents and educators: Recent research shows introverted children are often underrepresented in today's social sphere. This book gives them a character they can relate to, while also helping introverted and extroverted children understand the differences between the two personality types.

Contributor Bio(s): Maxwell, Kristen: - As a young child, author Kristen Maxwell struggled with her own introverted identity. She felt awkward and geeky and longed to be like the more charismatic kids. This took her on a journey of epic fails and embarrassment as she tried to be someone other than she was. She finally figured out a formula that worked, despite all of her social disadvantages, and the fakery began and lasted for years. Now a highly adapted introvert, she finds fitting in a little easier-but wishes she'd never had to change to be understood. Her hope is that Iggy, the introverted inkapus, will bring a sense of belonging to introverted children who are struggling with their own identity and show extroverted children how to identify and communicate with their quieter counterparts.
