Description
Ash, a novice fighter about the size of a human kid battling giant monsters across the land, has started to make a BIG name for himself as he defeats champion after champion, despite his small size. He’ll fight anyone, even if it means destroying a few buildings or villages along the way. When he stumbles across Dot, a young villager who wants to put an end to the destructive fighting, she urges Ash to put his battling days behind him.
But Ash has big battles on the brain! He has his sights set on finding and defeating the Legendary Champion, an old battler who mysteriously disappeared from the fight scene at the top of his game. Dot and Ash set out to find the Legendary Champion and learn about the surprising reason the epic giant doesn’t fight anymore.
Join Ash, Dot, and all the fighting champions in the fast-paced, action-packed graphic novel The Littlest Fighter!

"The Littlest Fighter" is a middle grade graphic novel by Joey Weiser. In a land where kaiju-type creatures fight to be champions over different areas, Ash is a tiny fighter with a lot of power. He doesn't care about being a village's champion. He just wants to defeat everyone. He meets Dot, who wants Ash to stop fighting and consider the consequences. When his actions cause damage to a village, Ash questions what he is doing. Bright and colorful illustrations show off the interesting world and inhabitants. The story feels a bit short, but that's the only downside. A recommended purchase for middle grade graphic novel collections.
This is such a cute book with a great message, one being the bigger they are, the harder they fall. Though in all seriousness this is a great book to teach kids that there are consequences to your actions and just because you think you are doing something good the effects of what you are doing might have bad consequences so you should think before you act and help out when you contribute to something getting broken or destroyed. Also, sometimes it's better to help in smaller ways. Our main character learns some available lessons and even finds a new dream with a new friend!
Thanks to Net Galley and Oni Press for an advanced copy of this graphic novel! I really enjoyed the art style of the characters in this. I enjoyed the story telling and how the moral came to be. It’s a great look into revenge and whether it will end as satisfyingly as you’d expect. Highly recommend this one!
I've read some of Joey Weiser's previous work and am a fan of his simplistic art and wonderful colors. He has a way of telling a story simply, great for younger readers, with a wonderful message that I look forward to sharing with my own child. This one was a great tale of learning there are consequences to actions and how to handle those. Looking forward to more from him.
This was a cute graphic novel about a young fighter who can’t see anything but fighting. That is until he meets a character called Dot who changes his perspective and he has to put others first for a change! I really enjoyed the story and the art style of this!
This was a very good manga about not always fighting and caring is more effetive finding a place to rest. i would reccommend this manga it was a very good character arcs and the characters are so sweet and you can see the progress of the main characters. i loved the art style and the text boxes.
This graphic novel delivers a heartfelt story about growth, empathy, and the consequences of our actions. Following Ash, a tiny but powerful fighter consumed by the thrill of battle, the story takes a turn when he meets Dot, who challenges his perspective and teaches him the importance of helping others. With vibrant, colourful artwork and an engaging narrative, the book imparts valuable lessons about responsibility, thinking before acting, and finding new dreams. The strong character arcs, sweet moments, and positive message make it a worthwhile read for younger audiences - my 8 year old really enjoyed it too.
This was a fun graphic novel about fighting monsters. The two main characters are both great fighters, but have different outlooks on fighting. Throughout the story we find out that they both have destroyed villages in their backgrounds from fighting. They discover that there are other ways to use their skills.
I think that this will be a book the students enjoy. The story is engaging and the artwork is vibrant and fun.
This was a short and fun book with great illustrations that are attractive and appealing to kids. The variety of fighting monsters will captivate all types of readers. I liked that it gave Ash’s back story of why he became a fighter. Dot and Terry teach some great lessons and there is good character growth in Ash. The character sketches in the back will appeal to students who love to draw and is a neat addition.
