From Julie Murphy comes the exciting conclusion in the two-book origin story of fan-favorite comic character Faith, a fierce, plus-size superhero. Faith Herbert can finally admit that she's not a regular teen. Thankfully, her two best friends, Matt and Ches, are now in on her superhero secret. But after the chaos of her first semester, Faith just wants to end her senior year on a normal note-enjoying all the hallmarks of graduating high school-like prom! And, possibly, getting to attend college in the fall. A new teacher has taken over journalism class, and Faith is only occasionally reminded of the empty spot left by Colleen Bristow, the quiet nerd-turned-supervillain. That is, until Faith hears from Peter that other psiots have been going missing, and he suspects that her old classmate is somehow involved. Faith decides the only way to get to the bottom of it is to find Colleen-before enemies can get to her first. As her search starts to collide with the memorable senior year she's been hoping for, Faith learns that you gotta have faith…that sometimes fate will point you in the right direction.

An insightful and hilarious graphic memoir of a queer Chinese-American immigrant, from debut author-illustrator Laura Gao. After spending her early years in Wuhan, China, riding water buffalos and devouring stinky tofu, Laura immigrates to Texas where her hometown is as foreign as Mars - at least until 2020, when COVID-19 made Wuhan a household name. In Messy Roots, Laura illustrates her coming-of-age as a girl who simply wants to make the basketball team, escape Chinese school, and figure out why girls make her heart flutter. Toggling seamlessly between past and present, China and America, Gao's debut is a tour de force of graphic storytelling. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

Misty never shies away from a challenge, on or off the field. So when the boys tell her she can't play football, there's only one thing to do: Join their team and show them what she's got. But the training is rougher than she thought-and so are the other guys, who aren't thrilled about having a girl on their team. Middle school isn't so easy, either. Misty wants to fit in with the popular kids, but they think a girl playing football is 'weird.' Even her best friend doesn't get it.
