Pretty nuanced for a comic book that by structural nature has to be formulaic. Really appreciated the addendum explaining the creation of Superman and the original Superman vs KKK story, as always intermingled with Yang's own story. Would be a great starter for discussions with 5th grade and up.

Super adorable fall goodness that's sweet and funny and with super charming color illustrations by FEH, featuring a bi main character. Kids will love this.

Moving and well-paced bio for upper elem/middle grade. Liked that Fannie Lou's direct quotes within the poems were set off by italics, helps as a visualization for students to understand sourcing in nonfiction. The collage illustrations helped to give texture and detail to the poems.

Good start to this new run. The catch-up from the previous series mostly worked. I look forward to them all being back in Jersey City as the space stuff was just ok.

Inspirational wirh illustrations that serve the uplifting story. Author's note fleshes out the details. Reading through YMA winners now, and this one was a beautiful starting point.

Needed to be edited (felt like it was plodding on for about 100 pages too long) and the anachronisms were jarring enough to take me out of the experience (but a kid likely won't notice). Not his best but better than Solo and it was nice to revisit the twins for a quick minute.
