Book 1 in Patrick Wigglesworth's Bizarre Bible Adventures, a series of hilarious comic journals for preteens.
Readers will follow 10-year-old Patrick as he draws silly comics about his weird life. Just how weird is Patrick's life? It's so weird that Patrick gets yanked out of his room and into the Bible! In each book, Patrick meets a different Bible character who acts as a tour guide through a portion of the Bible.
In Over My Head, Patrick meets Moses, who leads him on a journey through biblical events from Genesis to Deuteronomy. In his journal, Patrick records all of his bizarre Bible adventures (BBAs for short). Most of the journal covers Patrick's weird daily life entries with flashbacks to a relevant Bible adventure. Of course, this journal has to be kept secret, as he's convinced everyone would think he was crazy! To be clear, Patrick's journal does NOT tell the real Bible stories. It's about his Bible adventures. This is not a Bible storybook but rather a creative, humorous kid adventure that also teaches preteens about the Bible.
Packed with funny illustrations for reluctant readers, this Christian graphic novel features:
- Scripture references so kids can look up the Bible stories Patrick experiences
- Laugh-out-loud humor to keep young readers hooked while they learn about the Old Testament
- Uplifting themes to help biblical values take root in children's imaginations
As kids follow Patrick's zany life, they'll be inspired to dive into their own Bibles and uncover the adventure God has for them.

Hi! My name is Patrick Wigglesworth!
One day when I was in fourth grade, I opened my Bible and suddenly, out of nowhere, I got yanked into the pages! That's when the craziness began, and I started a journal to remember my adventure. I've drawn hilarious comics about my weird daily life and shared flashbacks from my crazy Bible adventure. And Moses--THE Moses--was my tour guide through the first five books of the Bible. What an amazing trip that was!
Featuring Genesis to Deuteronomy!
Over My Head is book 1 in the Patrick Wigglesworth's Bizarre Bible Adventure series--a fresh and humorous addition to the faith-based graphic novel genre for kids 7--12.
