Teen Titans: Beast Boy by Kami Garcia
Sequel to Raven and introduction to our favorite green shape-shifter, Beast Boy, this graphic novel expands on what we know about Beast Boy from the tv show and DC comics. We learn about how Beast Boy discovers his powers, as well as what circumstances lead to eventually meeting Raven. The artwork is just as stunning as the first book, if not expanded in color and style. This book engages with topics such as animal activism, high school popularity, and body dysmorphia.
Teen Titans: Raven by Kami Garcia
As a fan of the classic Teen Titans animated tv show I grew up with in the 2000s, I was very excited to read the first in this graphic novel series. It elaborates on the origin of Raven, a sort of dark-sorceress, half demon superhero who has lost her memory in a car crash with her mother and is rediscovering herself for the second time. The artwork is stunning and original, and the story itself left me very eager to read the next books in the series, Beast Boy, Beast Boy Loves Raven, and Robin. This book engages with topics such as grief, super powers, and self discovery.

'Geekerella’ and ‘The Princess and the Fangirl’ by Ashley Poston

The Astonishing Color of After by Emily X.R. Pan

Wolf by Wolf by Ryan Graudin
Wolf by Wolf is an alternative history set in Europe (partially) in 1956. What if the Third Reich and Imperial Japan won World War II? What if the medical experiments performed on prisoners in death camps produced something almost supernatural?
Monday’s Not Coming by Tiffany Jackson
Monday Charles is missing and her best friend Claudia seems to be the only person who cares; inquiries to Monday’s mother, their school, and even the police receive little response, and in some cases Claudia is straight up turned away. As events unfold and the reader gets glimpses into Monday’s life (before the disappearance) it becomes clear that her home life is a far cry from the stable family that Claudia has.
The Walls Around Us by Nova Ren Suma
This book is dark and weird, but if it hooks you it won’t let go. Part a psychological tale, part mystery, and a smattering of the paranormal, The Walls Around Us has been swirling around in my head since I closed it two days ago, and I want to force someone to read it just so I can discuss it in depth.
