Staff Reviews

This graphic novel is a sweet page-turner and one I wish I had when I was in High School. Our main character is a 15 year-old who can't wait to finish High School, move away from her small island hometown, and finally admit the secret she's been hiding from her "best friends." The secret however slowly reveals itself as she meets a cute selkie (think mermaid but instead of part fish, she's one with the seals) who Morgan is destined to fall in love with. Queer and magical... yes please!
