Read: Truly Tyler (Terri Libenson): Another graphic novel about two of the characters from the earlier volumes, who are also making an alternating-chapters comic of their own, while going through all the other drama of middle school. But one of them is… a boy!

Read: The Big Reveal (Jen Larsen): A really good dancer at a small arts high school needs money to get to the amazing position she’s won in Milan, so she and her friends stage an underground burlesque show, which brings the slut-shaming, fat-phobia, and generalized misogyny inherent in the system out into the daylight. There’s a romance subplot, because teenagers, but mostly it’s about the main character getting shit for being fat and overcoming it.
