Squad (Paperback)
November/December 2021 Kids Indie Next List
“Squad tackles friendship, toxic masculinity, and growing up, while building a mythology around werewolves that feels new and fresh. The colors pop as the story ebbs and flows, leaving you unable to put it down until you have consumed the whole thing!”

Staff Reviews
This powerhouse teen graphic novel follows Becca, the new girl at school, who is immediately chosen to join the coolest clique of girls in her school. These girls are eerily close-knit and hold a secret, one that Becca is soon pulled into: the coolest girls in school are werewolves, preying on boys who take advantage of girls without consent! Squad is a classic over-the-top teen-flick storyline with a fabulous cauldron brew of horror, queer representation, and searingly relevant commentary on consent and predation, featuring young women taking back their power and holding boys accountable. The perfect read for the next full moon!
