Mal pretends to be just a normal kid so he can stay in grade school, either because he doesn’t want to grow up too fast or because he has a crush on Megan (a girl in his class). Mal and Chad do everything together from scuba diving in the kitchen sink to traveling back in time to the age of the dinosaurs. The story is fun and filled with mayhem and adventure. The drawings are simple and in black and white. They show the character’s emotions and portray a sense of excitement when the story calls for it. McCranie originally created Mal and Chad as a comic strip for a college newspaper. There are three books in the Mal and Chad series.This one was very cute and funny. I actually laughed out loud at times. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect in every way *by G***E on Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2013* I bought this book along with the other two in the series. These books are great for my grandson who is going into the third grade and is a very reluctant reader. The books are set up comic book style. I like these books because the pictures are large and clear. The characters (mainly a boy and his dog) are well developed, as they would be in a conventional style book. The problems presented in one chapter are linked into the next, so the story flows at it would in a chapter book. There are several multisyllabic words, presenting some needed challenge in a highly motivating format. There is no offensive language. The humor is tasteful, not offensive. The book ends with a life lesson: teaching that it is more important to decide what kind of person you want to be when you grow up, than what job you will do. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the "BESTEST" middle grade graphic novels ever! *by J***L on Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2013* If "bestest" was a real word, I would totally use it in my review. This is one of the bestest graphic novels for upper middle grade students (3rd-5th) that I've ever read. I will absolutely share it with my 4th graders!Author Stephen McCranie brilliantly captures the highs and lows of being a 4th grade boy genius. Mal and his beloved talking dog Chad have some excellent adventures together. These adventures range from time-travel, baby dinosaur befriending, sink scuba diving, and more!As a fourth grade teacher I heard about this book from another teacher, and then knew I HAD to read it after one of my reluctant readers enthusiastically recommended it to me! I'm hooked, off to go buy the next two books to read myself, then to share with my students!Keep up the excellent work! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/19909438-mal-and-chad-the-biggest-bestest-time-ever](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/19909438-mal-and-chad-the-biggest-bestest-time-ever) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
