Compass South | Hope Larson

Totally blanked on #yawednesday this week, but better late than never, right?

@TheFunkyBookworm

This book and its sequel are middle grade or fast reads for older kids. Twins Cleo and Alex go on an adventure looking for their missing father and escaping the street gang they ratted on in NYC. Globe-trotting, pirates, mystery, and some thought-provoking treatment of gender differences (cont in comments)

ravenlee as Cleo, having been disguised as a boy, faces the unfairness of Alex being treated differently and being free to follow his dream. Mild romantic elements and a bit of magic. 6y

TheFunkyBookworm 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽thanks!!! 6y

Snow White: A Graphic Novel | Matt Phelan

#YAWednesday
I don‘t read a lot of #graphicnovels but these two have been on my radar lately. The tagged book is a #blameitonlitsy and because the updated story of Snow White in Jazz Age and Depression-era New York City sounds alluring.
Anya‘s Ghost is because Gaiman endorsed it. 😁💜

TheFunkyBookworm

batsy Jazz Age Snow White does sound very appealing! 6y

Kalalalatja I really want to read the tagged book, too! 6y

TheFunkyBookworm Ohh sounds great! 6y

Speak | Laurie Halse Anderson

@TheFunkyBookworm #YAWednesday they just turned this into a graphic novel should be interesting although dealing with sensitive and serious subjects this as a graphic novel could reach those high school girls struggle to communicate

TheFunkyBookworm I didn‘t know they turned this into a graphic novel! I‘ll check it out- thanks! 6y

TieDyeDude The graphic novel is excellent. I blew through it in one sitting 6y

Ddzmini It looked really good I put it on my wish list 6y

Rickety Stitch and the Gelatinous Goo Book 1: The Road to Epoli | James Parks, Ben Costa

I found Rickety Stitch and the Gelatinous Goo earlier this year. It's a fun, adventure fantasy about finding out who you are. It may look a little like it's aimed at kids, but it is young adult. With the themes and subject matter, middle school is fine I think.

I absolutely loved Roller Girl. Such a great example of showing young women as strong, tough and determined and focused on things other than boys.

Anya's Ghost | Vera Brosgol

pick

I loved this graphic novel about a young girl who falls down a well and meets a ghost who resides there. Anya‘s struggles with school and her Russian immigrant family ring true, and the story goes places I really didn‘t expect. @TheFunkyBookworm Your male students should not be dissuaded by the female protagonist—I think this is a book anyone could enjoy!

This is part of a series and was winner (or honor) of the Pura Belpré award, I don‘t recall what year.
