Little Fish by Ramsey Beyer is a coming of age story about a girl moving away from her small town and finding herself in a big city. The book is a compilation of new material as well as material previously published on the author’s blog.ģ. Hyperbole and a Halfby Allie Brosh is a hilarious and heartbreaking glimpse into the world of depression. Relish: My Life in the Kitchenby Lucy Knisley is a charming memoir that is sure to delight all you foodies out there.Ģ. My introduction to graphic novels was Bill Willingham’s Fables series, and it not only remains a favorite, but it is also a series I love to recommend. I personally love a series, but I have also found a number of enjoyable standalones. I have found many graphic novels that are entertaining, powerful, and moving. But don’t dismiss graphic novels as fluff or kids stuff just because they are illustrated. There is something refreshing (and maybe just a bit nostalgic?) about reading a story told in both words and pictures. If you are a reader of graphic novels you don’t need me to tell you how wonderful they can be. Both tell the story of extraordinary powers corrupting people. The first book that comes to mind is Steelheart by Brandon Sanderson. Bottom line: this book is fabulous! I found the cover off-putting, so this is a perfect opportunity to NOT judge a book by its cover!

It might change your mind! Are you a fan of revenge tales? That’s Vicious! Looking for complex friendships, unlikely heroes, and strange friendships? Look no further! If you like your reading deep, dark, and dangerous you will find all of that here. If you are intrigued by the idea of having superpowers, you should probably read this book. If you like enjoy stories where the lines between good and evil are blurred, you will probably like the moral ambiguity in this book. Though marketed as an adult novel, I think high school readers would probably enjoy this book, so if you are a fan of Victoria Schwab, you might want to check out Vicious. Both men are fueled by rage, armed with terrible powers, and dead-set on revenge. Fortunately for Victor, Eli is also on the look out for Victor as part of his crusade to eliminate ExtraOrdinaries (EOs) from the world. Ten years after that fateful semester Victor has escaped from prison and is hunting down his former friend.

This was interesting as a theory, but deadly during the experimental phase.

They believed that under the right circumstances it was possible for certain people to gain extraordinary powers. During their senior year a shared interest in near-death experiences and super human powers lead them to pose an interesting hypothesis. When Victor and Eli first meet in college they are both ambitious and arrogant and slightly socially awkward. From YA author Victoria Schwab ( Near Witch, 2011, The Archived, 2013), comes a new adult science fiction novel.
