And I was brought near to tears at one point with the cheerleaders and Joanna – the robotic club’s token girl. Everyone should be allowed to love it and enjoy it no matter who they are or were in high school. We’re not always the victims and when everyone forces stereotypes on one another it’s no fun for anyone.

Another thing I liked was how it showed that even us nerds can sometimes be douchebags and the stereotype slinging doesn’t go just one way. They’re long time friends that went different directions but who still put up with one another. Plus I really liked Nate and Charlie’s relationship. I liked how the kids came together and worked together. It definitely exaggerates some of the old high school stereotypes but it also shows how they don’t really matter any more than we make them matter. I think everyone should give it a read if you can find it handy. Meanwhile, in the background, Charlie finds himself forced to deal with the real life concerns that come with divorce and fitting in with different groups of friends. So they pool resources and decide to enter a robot fight club competition in Atlanta with the hope that they can overcome their differences and win enough money to pay for both groups’ goals. Unfortunately things get a bit too out of hand and the school refuses to fund either group. His friend Nate decides to run for student council president to make sure robotics club gets the money… and the cheerleaders decide to run Charlie against him. And caught in the middle of it all is Charlie Nolan – an easy going basketball player whose former girlfriend is a cheerleader and whose childhood friend is the president of the robotics club.

Nerdy, brilliant, and quirky, all t hey want is the money to travel to a robotics competition to show off their prized robot – the beast. In the other corner, you’ve got the Robotics club. Popular and determined to get student council funding to pay the $5,000 they need for new uniforms and equipment.

In one corner, you have the cheerleaders. Nothing Can Possibly Go Wrong follows two very different groups of high school students as they battle for limited resources and are ultimately forced to work together to achieve their individual goals. Nothing Can Possibly Go Wrong is an fun, quirky graphic novel for YA readers set in your average Southern high school.Īnd I thought it was absolutely fantastic. Most of the comic books I read are published by Marvel so I always appreciate the chance to check out something new and original.
