Each month, we select a graphic novel to explore. From superhero epics to slice-of-life tales, historical fiction, fantasy, and beyond, our curated selections showcase a wide variety of genres, styles, and themes. Books will be available at the Ask Me Desk beginning the first Saturday of every month while supplies last. We will have an activity to go along with the book. Can't make it to our meeting? Come any time during the month and pick up the book and a kit to do at home. Feel free to talk to library staff about the book anytime you visit!
This month we will be reading Misfit Mansion by Kay Davault.
Description from library catalog:
"Despite her monstrous appearance, Iris has never felt like she belongs in a mansion filled with kelpies and gorgons and unicorns. She longs to find a family. Unfortunately, she and her housemates are trapped in a "foster home for horrors" run by former paranormal investigator Mr. Halloway. So, when a human boy named Mathias breaks the house's sealing spell, Iris and her companions are set free upon the town of Dead End Springs. What Iris doesn't know is that Mathias is also a paranormal hunter (the kind who seeks to capture and destroy the horrors), or that there are other dangers ahead. As Iris searches for a home, she makes human friends, explores a brand-new world ... and stumbles upon a dark secret that Halloway has kept locked in the basement of the house. Will this long-slumbering mystery destroy the family Iris so desperately seeks?"
