Middle School Monsters (a Graphic Novel)

A "werewolf" looking for a fresh start finds unexpected friendship with her school's so-called vampire in this middle-grade graphic novel about fitting in, standing out, and accepting what makes us unique.

*"Both a love story and a compassionate exploration of a youth learning how to cope with loneliness, this sharply written and evocative graphic novel is deeply grounded in reality even when its characters would rather fantasize about the what-ifs." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review

 New town. New school. Fresh start. Jamie's determined to keep her hairy legs hidden, her emotions in check, and her monster side locked down. No drama. No disasters. Just one painfully normal middle school year.

Everything seems to be going according to plan until she's seated next to Vera--the school "vampire"--in English class. Jamie's popular new friends say to steer clear. But there's something about Vera that feels ... familiar.

The more she and Vera talk, the more Jamie wonders: could there really be other monsters like her out there? 

A heart-filled, howl-out-loud graphic novel about identity, belonging, and what it means to finally find your pack.
