Based on the Film Written and Directed by John Hughes. Art and cover by Bonnie Pang.
The iconic 1986 John Hughes film about living life to the fullest is now a joyful picture book for readers of all ages!
Life moves pretty fast–and Ferris Bueller is determined not to let it pass him by!
On a beautiful spring day, Ferris fakes being sick and plays hooky from school. He convinces his friends, reluctant Cameron and carefree Sloane, to come along for the ride. The three friends hop in the car and race to the most exciting place they know: downtown Chicago. They climb to the very top of the tallest skyscraper, eat lunch at a fancy French restaurant, cheer on a baseball game, and marvel over the paintings in the museum. But stickler teacher Mr. Rooney, determined to catch Ferris skipping school, is on their trail. Will the kids get away with it and have the best day off ever? And will anxious Cameron ever learn to live in the moment?
This joyful and nostalgic story about friendship, adventure, and seizing the day will appeal to children and fans of the movie alike.
Hardcover, 9-in. x 12-in., 40 pages, full color. All Ages

1st printing. Written by William Jones. This work gives attention to the evolving mission of Classics Illustrated to bring serious literature to popular culture; the publication's ability to stand up to the anti-comics hysteria of the early 1950s; the growth of subsidiary educational series encompassing folklore, mythology, history, and science; and the unsuccessful attempts to revive the series in the 1990s. Hardcover, 284 pages, B&W.
