Graphic novels are enjoyable reads for any age. The characters showcase emotion, fostering a reader’s empathy, and the format is a fantastic pathway for complex storytelling. This week we’re featuring some graphic novels from our Teen Fiction collection! This week’s feature pick is Someday Perfect written and illustrated by Kat Schneider. This graphic novel centers on teen girl Meg facing a crisis of faith. At a Christian sleepaway camp, Meg is at a crossroads between her pastor father’s expectations and her friends testing the limits of the camps’ rules. Meg doesn’t seem to want to follow her friends’ lead until she meets Danny, a gentle and charming teen boy who only seeks out her attention (and affection). Can Meg reconcile her role in her church and family with her budding romantic feelings for Danny?

Pride month is here again, and what better way to celebrate than to peruse some LGBTQ-related literature! This week on Butler’s Bookshelf we’re featuring LGBTQ YA novels from our Teen Fiction collection! Our featured pick is Sweet Clarity by Rhiannon Richardson. When Clarity Jones returns home from summer camp, she vows to hide her sexuality from a world that might not accept her to please her parents and not lose any more friends, but when her relationship with Hannah Fitzpatrick, who Clarity had her first kiss with at the summer camp, is threatened, Clarity must come to terms with who she’s pretending to be vs. who she really is deep inside.
