Why read it?

2 authors picked Paper Girls, Volume 1 as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This group of graphic novels will take you on a time traveling, inter-dimensional, coming-of-age journey for a group of 12-year-old girls. I include this choice because of the versatility of the characters. It's easy for the reader to see themselves in any of the leads including Tiff Quilkin, a smart, video game-loving young woman from a mixed-race family.

It is her quick thinking that helps the others…

From Amber's list on strong female leads of color.

I watch Stranger Things with total jealousy and this graphic novel came close to capturing the magic of the Duffer Brothers. Paper Girls takes place in the late ‘80s (clearly, I have a type) and has some serious Stand by Me vibes and layers of character-driven imagination on every page. There’s also a heartwarming love story at the center of this engrossing exploration of friendship.
