Exclusive: Papercutz Announces Jackson’s Wilder Adventures | News & Preview
Papercutz has announced a new educational graphic novel series. Jackson’s Wilder Adventures by Sarah Davidson stars Jackson Wilder and his best friend, Irwin the Thylacine. (The thylacine, now extinct, is also known as the Tasmanian wolf and was native to Australia and New Zealand.)
Jackson faces typical childhood problems, such as bedtime, but traveling in his cardboard Teleporter with Irwin lets him learn about wild animals and explore nature. Their experiences put his own challenges into perspective. Author Davidson was inspired by her real-life nephew Jackson and his love of learning.
