Another fantastic Sunny book! In Sunny Figures it Out, Sunny starts hanging out with a boy from school. They have a lot of fun together, but pressure from others about dating has Sunny feeling some type of way. A great addition to 1 of the most popular graphic novel series in my 5th grade classroom.

Holm’s OUTSIDE is a dystopian middle grade novel that young readers will not be able to put down. I was captivated by this group of 13 people (7 adults and 6 kids), navigate life in an underground bunker. What happens when Razzi gets the urge to sneak outside? Hold on tight, things get pretty wild!

If I have any advice for making comics it’s this: Sure your comic might be bad, but no one can make that bad comic in quite the same way you can, so you should still do it.

New this week from us: THRILLS! A Babymouse Flip Book! The first 2 volumes of Babymouse (Queen of the World & Our Hero) in one! Read one, then flip the book over to start reading the other. Best of all, it's in FULL COLOR, thanks to @joeyweiser.bsky.social! www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/743553...

The front and back cover of THRILLS! A Babymouse Flip Book. The front cover combines elements from the volumes Babymouse: Queen of the World! and Babymouse: Our Hero. A crowned Babymouse sits on the feet of a caped-superhero Babymouse who is doing a handstand on the globe as beams of gold and pink radiate in the background. On the (upside-down) back cover, Super Babymouse is dangling from the bar code, while her friend Wilson the Wilson peels back the page to reveal the second story that can be read by turning over the book. (Wilson is also in the top left corner of the entire image, peeling back the corner of ... reality? Who can say. Read the book!)
