The Picks:
Pale Queen GN – Quill Tree Books releases a new graphic novel from the creator of Estranged and the Legend of Brightblade. Agatha, an aspiring astronomer who has always dreamed of the stars, has resigned herself to living with her parents since they can’t afford an academy’s high tuition. A chance encounter introduces her to the Lady of the Hills and the secret magical world that lays hidden in the mist-shrouded land next to her village. Shocked at first, Agatha finds herself captivated by the Lady. But, when she forms a new friendship with a girl in town, she learns the Lady is far older and more powerful than she could’ve guessed. Agatha will need to find a way to protect the people she loves from the Lady’s sinister agenda. This title is perfect for fans of Anya’s Ghost and Snapdragon.
Julie And The Blue Guitar American Girl Mysteries Across Time GN – IDW Publishing releases a new mystery graphic novel that unravels across time. Ten-year-old Emma Dhillon is excited to explore her new home of 2024 San Francisco. She has difficulty making new friends until she meets Julie…or rather, she discovers Julie’s journal from 1977 in a local thrift shop. Emma quickly becomes enraptured with a mystery unfolding in Julie’s time. Despite being separated by half a century, Emma and Julie are united by their shared home, their passion for the environment and a missing blue guitar. Emma sets to work uncovering Julie A.’s identity, documenting the whole process on video for her school project, while Julie investigates stolen artifacts and works to help animals after an oil spill. Readers will enjoy the weaving together of the two storylines and seeing a modern girl and historical character join forces to make a difference in the present.
