Jimmy dreams of one day being recognised as JIMMY RUCKUS, world famous featherweight, beloved by all but in his eleven-strong house, Jimmy is the last thing on anyone's minds. He knows he's destined for greatness, so he sets off to seek his fortune. What he finds are circus animals, painters, pirates and heavyweight champs, each one challenging Jimmy's idea of success. Eventually, he realises he has to decide whether living life fist first is all it's cracked up to be. Lara Kaminoff's stellar art style and sharp characters give us a snappy, fresh graphic novel about a scrappy kid who means well, but never quite gets it right.

Debut creator Lara Kaminoff's graphic novel about the human spirit is funny and touching, with anti-hero Jimmy wrestling his way into your heart and changing your outlook on the fighting spirit within all of us.

About the Author
Lara Kaminoff is a cartoonist and book-slinger living in Seattle with her beloved and their cat, Creeper. She's inspired by an endless parade of podcasts, the magical world of fungi, brilliant friends, climbable trees, and danceable floors. Right now she's probably talking too fast, thinking too hard, or trying to fix something that ain't broke.

Reviews
'It's in the visual storytelling, though, that How to Pick a Fight truly excels. Kaminoff's outstanding use of lettering tricks, changing perspective, and the passage of time makes for many memorable sequences that are pure comics in composition.' -- Andy Oliver * Broken Frontier *
