The Picks:

Super Boba Cafe Volume 1 GN – Amulet Books releases a graphic novel about a secret teashop, an earthquake-causing monster, and a magical summer for one girl. Aria is the granddaughter of Jing Li, the owner of a sleepy independent boba café. She believes her grandmother needs help getting customers to the café, when really, Jing Li is the keeper of the monster of San Francisco. To keep it appeased, she must spend nine hours a day preparing a giant boba to feed it. When Aria posts news of the café and Jing’s new kittens on social media, the café becomes overrun. The more Nainai (Grandma) Li tries to keep the café closed, the more demand increases. She finally relents, but the hill monster is left hungry and small earthquakes start to plague the city. Now, it’s up to Aria to try to reason with the monster without either becoming its new favorite meal or causing the Big One! This title is perfect for fans of Snapdragon and Front Desk.

Turtle Bread: A Graphic Novel About Baking, Fitting In, and The Power of Friendship – Dark Horse Comics releases the debut graphic novel from author and star of The Great British Bake-Off Kim-Joy. Yan is looking for a place to belong. Her struggles with social anxiety and low self-esteem make it hard for her to maintain a job or relationships. When she stumbles on the Baking Club, she takes the chance to join, hoping to share her passion with people who love baking as much as she does. Intimidated at first, Yan soon discovers that she’s not the only one struggling with mental health issues and that her friends may need her just as much as she needs them. This touching story about community, healing, and finding yourself also features recipes for some of Kim-Joy’s favorite bakes!
