Three years ago, Ash's mom, Kristin, left home and never came back. Now, Ash lives in the house where Kristin grew up. All of her things are there. Her old room, her old clothes, and the shed, where she spent her childhood creating a fantasy world called Koretris. Ash knows all about Koretris: how it's a haven for girls, with no men or boys allowed, and filled with fanciful landscapes and creatures. When Ash's friends decide to try going to Koretris, using one of Kristin's spell books, Ash doesn't think anything will happen. But the spell works, and Ash discovers that the world Kristin created is actually a real place, with real inhabitants and very real danger. But if Koretris is real, why is Ash there? Everyone has always called Ash a boy. Ash uses he/him pronouns. Shouldn't the spell have kept Ash out? And what does it mean if it let Ash in?

Soft pick for this graphic novel. I really liked the concept. Ash & his friends are transported to the magical world created by his mom,who disappeared years ago. But Koretris is a world for girls only,so the fact that Ash was accepted has him questioning his identity. Plus there's a big bad that Ash &Co need to defeat. I just thought the world building could have been a bit better &the resolution of the battle explained more

4 ⭐This graphic novel is a trans girl fantasy. Our main character Ash has been struggling with their identity. Their mother is gone, but she was a writer who made up a magical world. One day Ash ends up in this magical world with their friends and the secret of this world is that only girls are allowed. So, Ash feels elated that this secret area chose them, and that their feelings of being a girl are reflected and approved. This world is part

LibrarianRyan Watership Down, part Neverland. Just when one thinks that Ash and their friends are going to solve the problems in this world, turns out that the problems are boys and Ash realizes that maybe it wasn‘t the world telling her she‘s a girl. In order for this world, invented by her mother to be saved she‘s going to have to find her true self and her true power and get her and her friends safely home. This book is a bit of a slow read, but in the end 1y
LibrarianRyan it is worth it. It was an enjoyable adventure especially for those who already enjoy fantasy with anthropomorphic characters. However, there‘s something deeper and darker in here. This land invented by her mother is all about fear. Fear is what gives it power. But her mother‘s greatest fear was a man. That is never addressed, and I wish it was. The end of the book makes it seem like there will be further adventures and if there are I will check in 1y

AkashaVampie @ElizaMarie thought of u when I saw the tagged book. Not sure if it's for u, but thought I'd let u know. 3y
ShelleyBooksie Beautiful colors 3y
Lindy As a natural dyer myself, I know how hard it is to get those very pale shades of indigo. The colour range you‘ve chosen will be fun to create with! 3y

There was a lot to love about this comic. I think it'll be a fun adventure for the target age group. This comic tackles concepts of gender identity, and imagines a world where the power of women has never been up for debate. #LGBTQ #Comic #Transgender #GenderIdentity

Lilah Sturges, the main author of this portal fantasy graphic novel, is trans. The diverse group of kids who enter a magical world called Girl Haven are all members of their middle school‘s Pride Club, including a child who is figuring out if they might be trans. Heartfelt and sweet #queer #comics. #LGBT #trans #ownvoices

This graphic novel for kids opens with a realistic narrative arc about painted fingernails. 💅
