The Bad Guys is an illustrated children's graphic novel series by Australian author Aaron Blabey. The book series centers around a gang of anthropomorphic animals known as the Bad Guys who attempts to perform good deeds to change society's perception of them as criminals, despite their efforts usually going wrong.

As both his humor-filled picture books and The Bad Guys series demonstrate, Blabey is a master at understanding what makes kids laugh. With such expert use of both prose and illustration, this series can be the key for turning an early or reluctant reader into a bookworm — eagerly anticipating the next book.

The hilarious Bad Guys books are suitable for kids of all genders aged 6-12. With their wacky illustrations, these books are the perfect thing to transition younger readers from picture books to chapter books, while still keeping older readers engaged.
