The Picks:

The Girl and the Glim GN – IDW Publishing releases an original graphic novel about facing the unknown and doing what’s right. Bridgette had hoped that when she started at her new school, she would be able to find some friends. But between the bullies and her own nervousness, she is having a tough time making a good impression. Or any impression. That’s when strange things start to happen. Something dark and scary that only she can see, invisible monsters called the Glum. With the help of the shimmery, glimmery fluff ball called the Glim, she will have to stop worrying about what others think of her and find a way to save the town. This title explores themes such as the fact that accepting fear is okay and that letting other people see your vulnerabilities can be scary but can also lead to closer friendships, and it is a great addition to any graphic novel library.
