Comment:
These are indeed strange times when a “back to school / sports” themed book seems just as escapist as a high fantasy novel, but that’s 2020 for you! This delightful comic series is the perfect upbeat treat for a quick September read. There are two volumes currently out, and we have them in print + on Hoopla!
The Avant-Guards is a comic series following Charlie, a former sports star and recent transfer student to an arts + drama college. Charlie struggles to fit in but ends up being charmingly convinced to join the school’s ragtag basketball team, known for...not being good at basketball. This book is full of friendship, teamwork, and a dash of romantic comedy, all told through a classic underdog sports story. If you know my reading tastes, you’ll know that I would normally never rave about a sportsball book, but this series is just too charming to resist!
Highly recommended for teens & adult readers who enjoy comic series like Giant Days, Check Please, and Lumberjanes.These are indeed strange times when a “back to school / sports” themed book seems just as escapist as a high fantasy novel, but that’s 2020 for you!

Darius Keller is a 15-year-old boy who loves tea, Star Trek, and Lord of the Rings. When Darius goes to visit his grandparents in Iran for the first time, he makes a new friend and everything starts to change.
Darius the Great Is Not Okay is one of the most true & tender novels I've read in a long time, YA or otherwise, and also has one of the most well-crafted depictions of struggles with depression, especially as a young person. This is a book I'll be recommending for years to come, to teens and adults alike.Darius Keller is a 15-year-old boy who loves tea, Star Trek, and Lord of the Rings.

A magical, romantic adventure following two teenage girls, a witch & a werewolf, as they battle the the forces of evil and discover love along the way. I absolutely adored this graphic novel! You can feel the joy that the creators had for this story in every panel, and I can’t wait to see what stories they conjure up next.A magical, romantic adventure following two teenage girls, a witch & a werewolf, as they battle the the forces of evil and discover love along the way.
