What an awe-inspiring graphic novel! The author covers so many topics and important themes—community, diversity, courage, team spirit, writer‘s angst, family, friendship, mentorship and more. Plus some fascinating trivia about how women‘s basketball finally broke the sexist barriers. A great read for teens or big kids like us, even if you‘re not a sports fan.

Stop me if you've heard this one.
New horror premise: badly tipped waitress serial killer. 😑🔪

Man, it would never have occurred to me as a kid (or honestly, as an adult) to even try to do the things Amar Shah walked into already confident. I have a lot of respect for anyone who can pull that off. His childhood experiences interacting with the amazing basketball players of the 90s is nostalgic and fun for me!

I feel it's a great introduction to the philosophy of Thoreau. The introduction and the panel discussions offer even more context. I liked the simplicity of the illustrations. It definitely makes me want to read more.

I just received this graphic biography of the Mitford sisters as a belated birthday gift from my family … and it‘s AMAZING.

To absolutely no one's surprise, I loved it! As always this series earns my admiration with the balance of fantastical and down-to-earth, drama and healthy communication, ancient Greek myth and modern urban fantasy, the complex adaptation of mythical figures into people with flaws and traumas, the spectacular art and the healthy dose of humour and warm fuzzies.
