What can readers expect to experience in NUTMEG VOLUME 4? A glimpse into the triumphs and failures, in all their myriad forms, of a small group of 8th graders. With the hope that they will see something of themselves, of their own experiences, however filtered through this heightened reality, within these pages.

Creators James F. Wright and Jackie Crofts said, "When we began this book, our primary audience was ourselves. We wanted to make a comic we'd enjoy. But over time, it's grown into a book with a dedicated audience fully invested in the stories of all of our characters, and we hope to find even more readers with this edition."
