Incredible Doom | 
pick4 ⭐ The description tells you it‘s the story of the beginning of the modern computer era. However it‘s really four students from different backgrounds that come together because of bulletin board servers in the early 90s. These kids are just learning about computers but actually learning more about themselves and who they can trust. This book was a super-fast read. TW: abuse of a child.
pickThe art is lovely, the characters have rich inner lives, and the stakes feel both urgent and realistic.
pickWhat a great graphic novel. I‘m putting together a blog post on Tough Topics for Teens and GN checked all the boxes Tthere are tough topics (abuse, runaways, theft) but there is also so much joy (first love, deep friendships). Takes place in the early 90‘s at the dawn of the internet, and how even then it helped people connect. Loved the pages of DOS. Quick, compelling read.
pick5/5 for this graphic novel! This was such an awesome graphic novel. I loved the artwork. The story was amazing. It was sad and happy and great! I related to these teens so much. I have made some really wonderful life-long online friends. Some I have met and some I may never meet but that doesn‘t mean that they don‘t mean the world to me. I highly recommend this one!
