Twelfth Grade Night-Arden High, Book 1
Praise for Twelfth Grade Night-Arden High, Book 1
*High school pranks, youthful dialogue, and a bright color palette make for a fun and inviting comedy to dive into, and a charismatic supporting cast offers plenty of material for more Shakespearean hijinks in future volumes.
—The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books, starred review<br>
Twelfth Grade Night cast a spell on me! A willing combination of fantasy, fun, humor, and heart.—Faith Erin Hicks, New York Times best-selling co-creator of PUMPKINHEADS
Twelfth Grade Night is a heartfelt and expressive graphic novel with memorable characters, emotive art, and an engaging story. I loved it!
—Kevin Panetta, author of BLOOM<br>
Booth and Strohm create a fun, bouncy, lively story through entertaining dialogue and high school high jinks, while Green’s illustrations get the facial expressions of teenage banter and confusion just right. This appears to be the first in what could be a popular series about joyful, mostly happy teens navigating high school with peers who are all being their true selves, be they fairies or minotaurs, bisexual or straight, trans, or cis. VERDICT Fans of Strohm’s previous novels (Love a La Mode, Prince in Disguise) and graphic novels such as Alice Oseman’s “Heartstopper” series will enjoy this title. A sound choice for any library with a strong graphic novel readership.
