Awesome new books for kids, teens, & families: out now!

October 1, 2022


We've just wrapped up an amazing month of children's and young adult graphic novels!

First, Jonathan Schnapp joins the Top Shelf crew with his anthropomorphic middle-grade summer-camp adventure, Order of the Night Jay: The Forest Beckons!

  • “A detective-duo heist, a moving and cautionary tale of friendship & openness prevailing against prejudice, or a chilling campfire yarn? ...[Order of the Night Jay] somehow manages to be all three and more.” — Kirkus Reviews
  • “A fun camp adventure for those who adore talking & clothes-wearing animals!” —School Library Journal

Fall in love with Balazs Lorinczi's teen-lesbian rock & roll rom-com, Doughnuts and Doom!

  • “Sweet and sapphic in every way, Doughnuts and Doom is everything my gay, witchy, baked-good-loving heart could ever want.” — Sam Maggs, author of Tell No Tales: Pirates of the Southern Seas
  • "This fast-paced enemies-to-lovers romance, filled with magic, music, and pastries, is an upbeat confection." — Publishers Weekly

And celebrate the thrilling return of James Kochalka's fuzzy and ferocious early-reader series in Dragon Puncher Punches Back!

  • "Perfect for early readers and humor enthusiasts of all ages, Dragon Puncher Punches Back is sure to delight." — Hey Kids Comics!
  • "[Dragon Puncher] magically captures the exact sense of zaniness often discovered in backyard playtime." — Booklist

All three great books are hot off the press and available at your favorite shop!
