Steam<\/strong><\/a> Now living among humans, Ruby attempts to lie low and fit in as a barista at the university coffeehouse. Working there gives her plenty of opportunity to figure out what problems people need solving. And as far as she can tell, most humans\u2019 biggest problem is struggling to find happiness. And what makes them happy? Love! Written by me, drawn by Emily Holden.<\/p>\n Starred Review:<\/b> Garrity’s storytelling is spot-on in its realistic and imaginative details, while Holden’s depiction of the shop and the cast that is moderately diverse ethnically while being highly diverse in age, goofiness, and expressiveness keeps up beautifully.<\/em><\/p>\n -School Library Journal<\/p>\n Unique and expressive characters rendered in soft pastel hues by Holden set the tone for this warmhearted story, which lightly ruminates on themes of personhood and found family via an endearing and amiable protagonist.<\/em><\/p>\n -Publishers Weekly<\/p>\n Playfully caffeinated like a softly sweetened light-roast coffee, this graphic novel is a breezy romantic comedy for people-pleasing nerds looking for love.<\/em><\/p>\n -The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books<\/p>\n Pass to young adults trying to find their place and admirers of fun found family tropes with a touch of queer romance.<\/em><\/p>\n -Booklist<\/p>\n The Dire Days of Willoweep Manor<\/strong><\/a> Baldwin\u2019s expressive full-color art\u2014reminiscent of Kate Beaton\u2019s Hark! A Vagrant\u2014and Garrity\u2019s text both delight in their humor, conveying accentuated reactions, ranging from shocked to stoic, that lean into gleeful absurdity. A romp made especially enjoyable by Haley\u2019s indulgent delight in Willowweep\u2019s ability to make her literary dreams a reality.<\/em><\/p>\n -Publishers Weekly<\/p>\n This well-paced and humorous graphic novel will appeal to readers looking for a triumphant story about being in charge of your own narrative.<\/em><\/p>\n -Kirkus Reviews<\/p>\n The Nefarious Nights of Willoweep Manor<\/strong><\/a> But shortly after their arrival, strange things start happening to Willowweep\u2026the once-Gothic pocket universe is transforming into a whodunit! As the tropes of a detective story start to multiply, a murder rocks Willowweep. And when she searches for the culprit, Haley begins to suspect that one of the newcomers is trying to eradicate Willowweep. One by one, all her friends disappear, and it\u2019s up to Haley to get to the bottom of this mind-boggling mystery. Can she grow past her Gothic romance roots to become a new kind of heroine? Thoroughly clever and delightfully weird.<\/em><\/p>\n -Kirkus Reviews<\/p>\n Skin Horse<\/a><\/b> Horror Every Day<\/strong><\/a> Monster of the Week<\/a><\/b> Perils of the Lady Gamer<\/a><\/b>

\nTeenage Haley is obsessed with all things Gothic, but never imagined she’d experience them in real life, until she rescues a drowning young man and wakes up in a 19th-century estate complete with brooding gentlemen, sinister servants, and an actual ghost. But all is not as it appears, as Haley learns she has not been swept into the past, but instead into a strange universe all its own. Written by me, drawn by Christopher Baldwin.<\/p>\n
\nHaley is summoned back to the Willowweep pocket universe to deal with a huge crisis: another pocket universe is collapsing, and the survivors are seeking refuge in Willowweep. Haley and her friends discover that the newcomers are from a mystery-themed universe complete with a blustery colonel, a sweet old spinster, and a butler.<\/p>\n
