Their prey? Slimy boys who take advantage of unsuspecting girls. But at a party under a full moon, Becca learns that they also have a big secret.īecca's new friends are werewolves. At first glance, Marley, Arianna, and Mandy are perfect. To her surprise, she's immediately adopted by the most popular girls in school. When Becca transfers to a high school in an elite San Francisco suburb, she's worried she's not going to fit in.

When the new girl is invited to join her high school's most popular clique, she can't believe her luck-and she can't believe their secret, either. Pretty Little Liars meets Teen Wolf in this sharply funny, and patriarchy-smashing graphic novel from author Maggie Tokuda-Hall and artist Lisa Sterle. The pre-order is available for the book on sites like Amazon, and here's a look at an overview of the graphic novel: Source: Picturestart/ Greenwillow Books Stemming from Greenwillow Books, Squad is an LGBTQ-themed horror YA graphic novel involving the story queer characters of color involving tones reminiscent of titles like Jennifer's Body. Yeah, there are some good things about this, but the pesky annoyances and everyday cliches definitely got in the way.The upcoming YA horror graphic novel Squad by Lisa Sterle and Maggie Tokuda-Hall has been given the coveted TV adaptation greenlight ahead of its' October 5thhardcover & paperback release later this year. Most of her dialogue is awful and even unrealistic. Not a single one of these characters were worth liking. Asides from Becca and Marley, the other characters are not pleasant. This is really unfortunate, because I really wanted to love this.Īlso, I know these are supposed to be mean girls, but this group was SO hard to like. But all of these excellent factors are undermined by a bunch of pesky passive aggressive, vaguely racist, and questionable issues. Teenage girls pushing back against the patriarchy is always great. The feminist angle mixed in with werewolf lore is very interesting. You know, there are some really cool things about this story. Except, these aren't regular girls, and Becca makes a decision that changes everything. But then she helps a popular girl and gets invited into their group. When Becca starts attending a posh high school, she's positive she won't make any friends. I've had my eye on this colourful graphic novel for a while, and decided to read it tonight.
