Stars in their eyes [graphic novel] : a graphic novel / by Walton, Jessica,author.; Aśka(Illustrator),author,illustrator.;
In this debut graphic novel, pop culture-obsessed Maisie can't wait to get to her first Fancon. But being a queer, disabled teenager with chronic pain comes with challenges. Can Maisie make it through the day without falling over, falling in love or accidentally inspiring anyone? Maisie has always dreamed of meeting her hero, Kara Bufano, an amputee actor who plays a kick-arse amputee character in her favourite show. Fancon is big and exciting and exhausting. Then she meets Ollie, a cute volunteer who she has a lot in common with. Could this be the start of something, or will her mum, who doesn't seem to know what boundaries are, embarrass her before she and Ollie have a chance?

This place kills me [graphic novel] / by Tamaki, Mariko,author.; Goux, Nicole,illustrator.;
"At Wilberton Academy, few students are more revered than the members of the elite Wilberton Theatrical Society--a.k.a. the WTS--and no one represents that exclusive club better than Elizabeth Woodward. Breathtakingly beautiful, beloved by all, and a talented thespian, it's no surprise she's starring as Juliet in the WTS's performance of Shakespeare's classic tragedy. But when she's found dead the morning after opening night, the whole school is thrown into chaos. Transfer student Abby Kita was one of the last people to see Elizabeth alive, and when local authorities deem the it-girl's death a suicide, Abby's not convinced--she's sure there's more to Wilburton and the WTS than meets the eye. As she gets tangled in prep school intrigues, Abby quickly realizes that Elizabeth was keeping secrets. Was one of those secrets worth killing for? Told in comics, letters, diary entries, and news articles, This Place Kills Me is a page-turning whodunnit from award-winning writer Mariko Tamaki and acclaimed illustrator Nicole Goux that will have readers on the edge of their seats and begging for an encore"--Ages 14 to 18.

The strange case of Harleen and Harley [graphic novel] / by Marr, Melissa,author.; Caballero, Lea,1990-illustrator.; Gattoni, Lucas,letterer.; Lawson, Jeremy(Cartoonist),colourist.; St-Onge, Jenn,illustrator.;
"Harleen Quinzel is many things: a gymnast, anxious, broke ... but the last thing anyone would call her is evil. Harley Quinn on the other hand ... When Harleen signs up to participate in a clinical research trial with her girlfriend, Pamela, the most she hopes for is extra cash in her wallet and a chance to get her anxiety under control. But what she gets instead are increasingly large gaps in her memory and stolen mementos from some guy named Jack she's never met. Soon Harleen discovers she's sharing her life with Harley--a take-no-prisoners, who-cares-about-attendance, maybe-we-oughta-save-the-bunnies kind of girl. She is the opposite of Harleen in many ways. She is anarchy in a cute dress. And although she's throwing Harleen's life completely off track, maybe she ain't so bad either ... New York Times bestselling author of Wicked Lovely Melissa Marr teams up with celebrated artist Jenn St-Onge to tell the story of a girl who will learn good and evil are not black and white (and red) ... as long as she doesn't get caught"--013-017.Grades 10-12.

Cannon [graphic novel] / by Lai, Lee,1993-author,illustrator.;
We arrive to a wreckage--a restaurant smashed to rubble, with tables and chairs upended riotously. Under the swampy nighttime cover of a Montreal heat-wave, this is where we meet our protagonist, Cannon, dripping in little beads of regret sweat. She was supposed to be closing the restaurant for the night, but instead, well, she destroyed it. The mess feels a bit like a horror-scape-not unlike the horror films Cannon and her best friend, Trish, watch together. Cooking dinner and digging into deep cuts of Australian horror films on their scheduled weekly hangs has become the glue in their rote relationship. In high school, they were each other's lifeline--two queer second-generation Chinese nerds trapped in the suburbs. Now, on the uncool side of their twenties, the essentialness of one another feels harder to pin down. Yet, when our stoic and unbendingly well-behaved Cannon finds herself--very uncharacteristically--surrounded by smashed plates, it is Trish who shows up to pull her the hell outta there. In Cannon, Lee Lai's much anticipated follow-up to Stone Fruit, the full palette of a nervous breakdown is just a slice of what Lai has on offer. As Cannon's shoulders bend under the weight of an aging Gung-gung and an avoidant mother, Lai's sharp sense of humor and sensitive eye produce a story that will hit readers with a smash.
