First Test (Protector of the Small Book 1) by Tamora Pierce, graphic novel adaptation by Devin Grayson and Becca Farrow. RH Graphic, 2024. 9780307931566. 160pp.

It's been over 20 years since I read one of Pierce's YA fantasy novels, but I continue to recommend her books to kids and their parents. I'm happy to say this graphic novel adaptation captures the spirit of the original, particularly the friendships.

Keladry is the only girl accepted into training as a knight. Despite Alanna's martial prowess -- she's a female knight -- Lord Wyldon, who is in charge of the new pages, puts Kel on probation for a year. If she can't convince him she belongs with the boys in her class, he'll send her home. But from the way Kel handles herself at home in Mindelan -- she takes on several boys trying to drown a bag of cats, and then a giant spider creature -- it's clear there's no reason to worry about how well Kel can fight. The bullies she has to deal with are awful, it's clear she's had more martial arts training than the other pages, and she's forced to work harder than everyone else. (I never doubted for a moment that she'd find a way to hang on.)

This book takes place after Pierce's Song of the Lioness series, which is about Alanna. A graphic novel adaptation of Page, the first book in that series, will be released in 2025.

For the first time in 4 years I’ll be back at SPX. I know this is the first time back for a lot of folks, but oh man it is hard not to take stock of what a difference four years makes. In 2018 Passport was still *just* a mini comic that I was hoping would be taken seriously. This year, not only does it actually exist, but I get to talk about it on a panel with @katrionachapman @tommi_pg and @fffungirl. Come find me at table E13A and pick up a copy, or get yours signed or we can just beam at each other through our masks and glory in the bounty that is comics and @spxcomics 😘✌️✈️💕 . . . . . . . . . . #comics #comix #graphicnovels #yagraphicnovels #ya #spx #spxcomics #spx2022 #passport #comicbokks #comicart (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cif5vl-vOyq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Yalll I’m back!!!!! My semester is over! 🥳 I’ve been so stressed my book buying may have gone a ~little~ overboard lately. Here are some new graphic novels I picked up! Do you stress-buy? It’s a bad habit of mine but I’ve actually gotten better even with all the new books I recently purchased. Progress! . #QOTD: What are you reading? I love YA but I’ve been reading only YA since January for school so I’m planning on reading some adult and middle grade books this week. I started The Soulmate Equation by Christina Lauren yesterday and I love it so far! . . . #newbooks #graphicnovels #currentlyreading #bookstagram #bookworm #yabooks #yagraphicnovels #bookhaul #booknerd #booksbooksbooks #librariansofinstagram #diversebooks #weneeddiversebooks #ownvoices #dunegraphicnovel #almostamericangirl #themagicfish #bookish #bookcommunity #beautybookcorner https://www.instagram.com/p/CPBpomhriE3/?utm_medium=tumblr

💬 If you were a superhero, what would your super power be? . Thank you to @dccomics #DCPartner for gifting me this copy of Nubia: Real One by @ll_mckinney! This is a poignant #OwnVoices YA graphic novel that brings DC’s first Black female superhero (and Wonder Woman’s Black twin sister) into the spotlight in a tale that explores the racist dichotomy of how Black vs. White superheroes are perceived and what it’s like growing up as a Black teen (and superhero) in a world filled with racial inequality, police brutality, school violence and more timely issues affecting young people today. . . Thank you to @vasaglefurniture for gifting me this gorgeous bookshelf! They have so many beautiful pieces, so be sure to stop by and check out their store! . .

Go With The Flow by Lily Williams and Karen Schneemann

Go With the Flow is a 2019 graphic novel written and illustrated by Lily Williams and Karen Schneemann. The book follows a group of three high school best friends who meet the new girl Sasha, and after an unfortunate period incident welcome Sasha into their group. Each character has their own respective issues with their periods and trying to break the stigma surrounding menstruation. Abby, the artist and activist tries to rally for free and equal access to feminine hygiene products. Brit deals with the underdiscussed issues of painful periods and the complexities of the female reproductive system. Sasha is new to the whole period thing and is bullied after her embarrassing first period by the popular girls at school. In the end they come together to advocate and despite backlash really achieve their goals in breaking the stigma that surrounds something that happens to every woman. 

I thought this was a really cute book and I love the fact that it bluntly addresses a really taboo subject that we’re often times too ashamed to talk about as openly as we need to. It covers a lot of the big overarching issues, like equal access and the pink tax to basic things like accidentally getting your period in public and being shamed. The art style is very cute, I loved the shades of red. Every panel and all of their characters are always wearing or colored in some sort of hue of red which works really well for the point of the novel. I thought the characters were all very cute and relatable, although I had some issues with how fast they became friends. Otherwise, I think this is a really important book for young girls to read that should definitely make its way into the puberty narrative when we talk to our kids about something that is incredibly natural but still some how taboo. This was very cute, very simple and a fun quick read. It’s a good kind of “period fiction”. Get it, cuz, period. Not like historical period. Anyway.

From @cassiejanderson: “I've never been so excited and nervous to flip through a comic book. My editors sent me the proof copy of Extraordinary and it looks amazing. The spot gloss on the cover, the way the colors printed, the design pages...I can't WAIT for you all to read it! Just a couple more months until it's out in stores!” . . . #cassieanderson #cassiejanderson #ordinaryprincess #graphicnovel #womenincomics #extraordinary #comicbook #yabooks #yagraphicnovels #middlegradebooks #princess #womenwhodraw #pdxcomics #pdxcartoonist #helioscope #graphicnovelist https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx_MPKLB1_Y/?igshid=cis5lrhrhwqy

YAY I've turned in my finished book pages to @abramsbooks !! 🎉 SURE I will still have copyediting to do and I need to design a cover and oh yeah figure out what the final title of this graphic novel is gonna be...but BASICALLY it's done. And for that I am so very grateful & relieved! 😆🙏💛 Also I can't believe I made it through this whole production process without ANY wrist pain this time around! ✍️⚡️There really is so much more to gush about and people to thank but for now I simply let out a big sigh of relief and say thank you to Mona for taking me on a journey I will never forget. 🌠 . . . #makingmona #whatsthematterwithmonastarr #lauraleegulledge #abramsbooks#graphicnovel #yalit #yagraphicnovels #comics #femalelead #bookbaby #drawingmarathon #bookdeadline #relief #gratitude #exhale #physicaltherapyworks #moregushinglater https://www.instagram.com/p/ByGwm0tloB8/?igshid=1pp5xva545mds

#laika - The Moscow Dogcatchers (pencils, pages 56 and 57). I had a whole backstory for these guys - so much so at one point I thought about spinning it off into its own separate story. #comics #graphicnovel #graphicnovels #ya #yagraphicnovels #originalcomicart #pencils #cosmodog https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu4kn-3hPsq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=fy2wpsmh69vy

Eerie Tales from the School of Screams by Graham Annable. First Second, 2023. 9781250195036. 364pp. http://www.powells.com/book/-9781250195036?partnerid=34778&p_bt

A teacher writes the word "eerie" on the chalkboard in front of her class and then asks the young students to tell the class the eeriest story they have. Their stories are strange. Alvin tells the first, "The Village That Vanished…", about two men who follow a map to a field filled with sheep where they meet a strange dude who tells them what happened to the town of Wattersbug. It's not horribly graphic, but it's also not a story I'd expect a kid to tell, though his teacher seems excited. Alice's story, "The Face In The Forest…" features a girl named Luanne who's expected to do everything for her aunt and uncle, though they don't seem happy that she's so helpful. When she goes into the forest in search of wood she meets a sympathetic head. Will it help her, or does it mean her no good? It's hard to say at first though the head seems very friendly, and it says it wants her help.

More stories follow. They involve drones, ghosts, spaceships, aliens, grandparents, and demons. When you're reading the book, don't jump ahead -- it has a fun ending, but you have to read every page to really enjoy it.

This is my favorite spooky kids' graphic novel in a while. I know a few kids who would have enjoyed it in grade school, but it's probably got more appeal for older students and adults, it would make a great read-aloud.

Some hallway confrontations for #inktober2018, Day 8.

[sophiadraws]

@clough.robert interviewed me for SOLRAD (@fieldmousepress). I don’t want to gush too much but I have been looking forward to getting a copy of Passport into Rob’s hands for a long time so I am thrilled. Not only is Rob the most insightful indie comics reviewer in the business, but he might be one of the few people who has read just about everything I have published. His long view of indie publishing and the comics industry as a whole is a true asset to the community. Thank you Rob! (Link in Bio) And I should warn @davidheatley @about_dunja_jankovic @gary.panter and @joshmbayer that they are all mentioned in this interview. Hope you don’t mind. And I hope @juliawhair doesn’t mind that I am posting this picture, taken around the time that #Passport takes place. Sistars forever. 💫 Passport is available for pre-order NOW but will be available whereever books are sold 11/2/21. 🛫✈️❤️🌈 . . . . . . . . . . . . . #passport #lbyr #book #debutbook #debutgraphicnovel #graphicnovel #graphicmemoir #graphicnovelmemoir #comic #comix #comicbook #cia #secrets #sisters #bookstagram #booktalk #yagraphicnovels #yabookstagram #yabooks (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CT2TnHVLMRr/?utm_medium=tumblr
