ALT Cover of Destroy all humans. Sawatari is sitting on a desk with a magic card at her chin while Kano is sitting behind her.
Chernobyl is a fascinating & devastating topic, & this graphic novel handles the topic with care and provides lots of factual information. The entire color palette nods to the Ukrainian flag, promoting opportunity for many discussion questions.

.@GraphixBooks is getting into the manga game with Unico vol 1, based on the beloved original story by Osamu Tezuka & adapted by @SamuelSattin. This manga is adorably illustrated & colored by the wonderful team of @Gurihiru. It’ll be a hit in elementary libraries! #GraphicLibrary
Review 999 is Gannibal from @AblazePub . It’s creepy in a good way that builds throughout the volume. This would be good for high school & adult collections.
