A delightful addition to middle grade collections, this could introduce new readers to comics. For existing readers of comics like Captain Underpants, this can serve as a gateway comic to weirder fare.
Though fans of speculative tales in the vein of Black Mirror will appreciate this one, so will anyone who loves friendship stories, such as Faith Erin Hicks’s One Year at Ellsmere. A good entry point for those unfamiliar with comics, too.
Readers, particularly those who grapple with challenging parental relationships or escape into art, will find that this witty memoir speaks to their own experiences.
While libraries that already own The War at Ellsmere need not repurchase, collections that don’t have it should consider it, especially where the “Lumberjanes” series is popular.
A solid introduction to the creepy side of the DC universe. Those who enjoy this book may want to explore other mystical DC tales, such as those starring Zatanna or John Constantine.
Fans of Ottaviani’s T-Minus: The Race to the Moon, as well as those interested in science or space travel, will eagerly gravitate to this title. A stellar addition to all collections.
